Thanks Adrian, but I'm a little slow on the uptake. Here what we want to do. We update our site inventory from a database and we showcase it on an ecommerce side as inventory. If someone orders it, we verify availability (most products are one of a kind) with the vendor, order the item, receive the item and then ship it out to a customer. Thats the typical flow.
So, do you consider this a supplier (someone who sells goods ) or a vendor? Thanks again for the help.
