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.
