hi -

thanks for getting back to me.

as i mentioned, i'm doing some payment site work. we want to attract merchants to accept payments through us, right?  

most of these sites let the merchant generate a button with the appropriate codes that will let the user click and come to the payment form on the payment site.  but what if the user wants to order more than one product?  

i thought it could be neat to offer them a shop that could be hosted on our site.  basically, that would mean allowing each new merchant to create and populate their own virtual shop with their own goodies. there would be an overall shop system, but it would have an extra merchant ID in there to keep one merchant's products out of all the other shops.

does this make more sense?
