Thank you for you amazingly prompt response. In your opinion would it be possible to customize Catalook to do something like this. What I am trying to do is use a program like Amazon to sell books and another vendor's program to sell videos, and other different affiliate programs for other types of products. I also plan to sell my own products that are not coming from an affiliate program. It would seem that the only real issue is at the checkout phase.

Sorry, I have reread your topic and realised the key part is to integrate several shops products into Catalook as one central way of viewing and then to go back to the specific cart for the checkout process. No, is the answer for Catalook to support this. It can support DRM Downloads from multiple shopping sites but not to aggregate products from multiple sites.

Have you thought about using something like Amazon Products Pro http://www.snowcovered.com/Snowcove...geID=16173

I am wondering if there is anyway to integrate Catalook with Amazon and other similar affiliate programs so that I can have more control of the transaction? I want to be able to incorporate several different affiliate programs into one catalog so that every time a user looks at product they don't end up on a different website. Ideally what I want to do is be able to use the Catalook shopping cart up through the check out stage and then redirect to the affiliate store at the payment stage. As a part of this I would imagine I would need to be able to resolve the situation where a user purchases several products from different vendors in one transaction in an elegant way so the user doesn't get confused and abandon the transaction. Is it even possible to do this?
