Hi,
We are already selling on several channels and looking to take the next step - our own eCommerce website.
All data must be stored in an access-database to integrate it in our existing system.
Also export to search engines or shopping malls like froogle, kelkoo...
As we sell our goods in different sizes and colors the shop must ask the costumer for the color/size he wants. We will send the costumer a Link by Email to make his choice. The special goods where the system must ask for are marked - all related products have the number of the main-article stored.
