You have to rename them all individually and you may have to update all your queries and relationships manually depending on the version you are running.

Well try a shippping term called "Grouppage" which means you can share a container with two or three merchants having small shipments similar to yours. \n\nAlso this can be studied better if you can specify your shipping origin and destination.

All this stuff can be done by integrating Linux, mySQL, Apache and PHP (or EmbPerl).\n\nIt will take a little (or a lot) or work, but it can be done.\n\nBest of luck.

I suggest www.netfirms.com . They offer all the tools you'll need, and they are very cheap, about 10 bucks a month. Very good service, and no downtime. They offer web authering tools, shopping carts, data bases, and plenty of webspace. I've used them for 5 years, and I've never had any problems.

Well done.\nI did that once with a full cart.\nBut before leaving the store, I mixed a lot of items in the shelves...

Okay, let me see if I can help. By the way, I love your screen name. That's a good one. Okay, try these urls\n\nwww.123ecommerce.com \nwww.goecart.com/ecommerce_faqs.asp\nwww.commerceweaverpro.com/index-2.html \necommerce.shopping-cart.us.com/free_ecommerce.php \nweb.shopping-carts.us \nstorebox.acromediainc.com/?acp=6070 \n\nIf these don't work for you, email me (on my profile) and I'll see what else I can come up with. Oh, and no selling body parts on the web! Organs, maybe....(just kidding. I have waaaaayyyyy toooooo much time on my hands!)

osCommerce is a shopping cart system that is open source code that has mods that allow for downloads. Also PayPal is available. Getting the osCommerce setup is tricky and there are some companies that have ones set up with the popular MODS. I was going to do it with my Lunar Pages but I need to get Sercurity certs and I decided not to go to all of this trouble. I might have been better off to subscribe to the Services that have the OsCommerce already with the popular mods. \n\nIf you do do this on your own, you will need plenty of PHP programming familarity. It is a good idea to know a little about PHP anyway. If you go with a service that offers you the already customized OS Commerce (http://www.oscdox.com/ is one has MODS configures), you are better off. It is more $$$ then my Lunar pages. My Lunar pages are about $20 a month. If you go it alone, you will need to keep up on Securty problems and be ready to put patches in.\n\nThe OSCommerce is one of the less expensive solutions. Other solutions could be very expensive. There is CubeCart that might be easier. You need to buy the downlaod module from a third party. Basic CubeCart is also free & open source. The OSCommerce is much mote robust but harder. \n\nOther cart systems with downloads prob. don't support PayPal & might be very, very expensive. It is expensive to pay a programmer.\n\nI wish that I recalled the OSCommerce site that had good support and that offered a ready off the shelf OSCommerce with many MODS. Do a search in Google for OSCommerce. You will find more info on this cart system.\n\nAlso, there are Embroidery Malls that will sell your designs for you. Just be sure that you can live with their terms. You can sell via Embird if you own Embird software. I have some designs there but got no traffic. Embird is www.embird.com. I have tried ebay but too many sellers and one needs to lower their prices. I have sold via eBay. For eBay you need to email the files to the customer after they pay. At eBay the fees are too high. If you can get one of these carts working, that would be ideal. The cart could be a goal and one could start selling & emailing the designs. Criswell emails her designs to people. Of course she is well known. \n\nWith the cart system and downloads, the major problem is that you can be ripped off by buyers who have stolen credit cards. Yet, I would think that such problems that I've read about in carts & auto=downloads are in industries such as music that have plenty of crooks available. So far embroidery still is a small industry, yet now we are experiencing too many sellers, selling too cheap & not enough buyers. So, I don't want to discourage you from the cart System but just be aware of what you are up against.

u should be knowing porter's value chain model. what u need to do is draw the value chain of your partners (suppliers, distributors....) both on the front and back end. so u get the whole supply chian. u have many It models to make the process easy. having done this would help u to identify to improve efficiancies in ur system so that would have a positive effect on clients. sometime u can identift modifications of improvements in ur partenrs system that leadt to ur efficiences. this is nthing but copretion among channel systems\n\nbut if u r speaking from other point of view...i.e for example u have two distribution channels for ur product say through internet and through direct selling. most of the times u have conflicts between them. so u nee to avoid channel conflicts and build coperation among them. for example Avon had sales ppl. they wanted these sales reps to suggest their website. but they never did this becoz they knew that they would be loosing te commission. so this is one example o hw conflicts arise.\n\ni will get to u if i find some material on this

What do want to distribute? What specific items would you prefer.\nFind someone doing what you want to do and copy them.\nNo need to reinvent the wheel!

The usual way to do this is to have 2 tables.  One table for your purchases (i.e. the items you are bringing into your inventory) and another table for sales (i.e. the items that are going out of your inventory).  The common link is a part number (i.e. some unique number to identify each item).\n\nYou need to load each item purchased and qty. into the "purchases" table and load each item sold and qty sold into the "sales" table.  If you purchase and sell the same items over and over you can just keep adding rows to your purchases and sales table.\n\nTo see what you have on-hand you make queries that sum up all the purchases by part number and sum up all the sales by part number.  You join these together and include a formula to subtract sales from purchases.  The result is what you have on hand.\n\nDoing it this way gives you a running history of what was purchased and sold.  You never have to change or replace your original data - you just let the system do the math to tell you what's on-hand.

You can't create a shopping cart purely in html. You need a server side script such as Ruby on Rails, PHP or ASP as well as a database such as mySQL, postlite etc.
