Hi Richard, You probably want to take a long look at salesforce.com's appforge or whatever it's called - it starts with the salesforce.com CRM and allows 3rd party developers to develop and sell components (which can be added to the bill) through the salesforce web app. Apparently it's very successful. Other suggestions are looking at 3rd party extension providers for SugarCRM which do something similar but open source. Both are a lot less ambitious, I'm afraid. Something else to think about is that one-size-fit's all e-commerce doesn't really work - the closest real solution is Venda, they provide hosted e-commerce and manage it and customise it - I think that is much more the way to go. There are a lot of supposed e-commerce suites out there, but I've yet to hear of one that didn't suck badly, and more importantly the problem differs so much between sites that trying to bodge every ecommerce site to use the same tool is a bad idea. I've worked on and implemented scores of ecommerce sites, from very simple to high street names and I'd say that none were really alike, and that's ignoring SOP and stock integration, etc. Sorry to join the naysayers.
