Are you familiar with xml-rpc:
http://www.xml-rpc.com/
It's similar to SOAP, but *much* more simple. Also looks very similar to
what you are developing. It's basically just a way of executing function
calls over http. There are several implementations of it in PHP, as well as
many other languages.
The nice thing about using a standard is that anyone else using any other
ecommerce software written in any language could hook into your system. So
if the other store isn't using FreeTrade, they can still sell your products.
And the parsers have all been tested and validated, so you don't even need
to worry about that part (just need to worry about what data should be
sent).
You might want to post on the xml-rpc Yahoo group, and explain to them what
you want to do. They may have some good feedback.
