You might want to clarify what you're looking for here. Most commerce systems I've used assume a human being using a web browser at the other end of an HTTP transaction. They present the catalog, allow the human to pick products from that catalog and put them in the cart, and then checkout -- enter payment and shipping info. The UI is done via HTTP and HTML and a web browser. HTTP cookies track cart state (or at least, a session ID). You're saying you want to submit items via local channels (thereby implying you'll do the catalog, too), checkout via local channels, submit order info via local channels... what exactly does that leave for the commerce system to *do*? :-) When it comes to the server side of commerce systems, I've only ever really dealt with Zen Cart (a fork of osCommerce). It gets the job done, and is a relatively simple system and thus easier to fit into one's head. And free. There's a strong user community web forum. There's a web knowledgebase, which is good because the code I had to deal with was not well commented. The design didn't strike me as overly modular. So it might be tough to adapt it to... whatever it is you're doing. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
