  While it looks like they already have some of the functionality covered, you
  might want to check out ASPDOTNetStorefront (www.aspdotnetstorefront.com).
  I've been using their e-commerce platform for a while and have been
  extremely happy with it. Some of the features are:

  Multi-lingual support
  Web-based admin module
  Custom Skins for designs
  XML Packages to customize displays, without having to recompile
  Full Access to the Source code (C# or VB.NET)
  Google/Yahoo Conversion tracking
  Quickbooks download of orders
  XML download of orders
  Real-time shipping rates
  Affiliate support

   ... And much more. 

  The system runs on ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 (they also have older
  versions that support .NET 1.1 and SQL 2000).

  I used to build carts from scratch, but this is much better <G>. Having the
  source code allows me to customize the system, such as adding a LTL Trucking
  quote module to the storefront. 

  Hope this helps!

  Hi everyone - 

  Can I pick your brains? I have a client who needs to put some data on the
  web which will connect to a 3rd party shopping cart product, ie. they want
  to display their goods on the web and allow them to be sold on to retail
  clients. They already have the shopping cart side organised, but they have a
  statically typed website - no database to feed it.

  They also need an internal system which will meet administration, management
  and reporting requirements - but fairly simple stuff. They are very strapped
  for cash (smirk) and want a fairly inexpensive solution. Lately I have been
  working on .net with SQL Server 2005 systems which would be a great solution
  - but way too expensive in development costs.

  So what about SQL Server BE with Access front end? I know it's very common
  but can someone tell me:

  - any gotchas
  - cost for client in terms of licences they would need for SQL? I can't seem
  to find a clear answer by googling.


  Thanks.
