◆Current state
Miva is shipping its branded 26 R1 release alongside continuing 10.13.x patches. 26 R1 introduces AI Insights — a natural-language assistant inside the Admin that answers business questions from store data without sending data to external LLMs — Margin Awareness (product-level margin sortable and usable across merchandising, feeds, and collections), the first phase of a refreshed Admin UI, percentage-based and single-quantity charges, UPS InsureShield package protection, and standardized shipping classification fields. The 10.13.x line continues with Global API on/off toggles, dedicated Custom Fields tables for large-store performance, Apple Pay in PageBuilder, USPS API migration, and AvaTax scheduled-task lifecycle.
◆Where it's heading
Miva is making its biggest directional move in years: AI is embedded into the Admin rather than bolted on, framed around private store data that doesn't leave Miva. The Admin UI rebuild signals a multi-release UX modernization. Margin Awareness threading profitability through merchandising and operations is a substantive merchandising posture — selling 'profit' rather than 'GMV' is unusual positioning in mid-market commerce.
◆Prediction
Expect 26 R2/R3 to extend AI Insights from answering to taking actions (creating segments, drafting promos), and the Admin rebuild to land more views per release. Margin Awareness will likely become a default sort/filter in admin grids and propagate into ad-feed integrations and discount logic.
