Seeking Advice: Building A Web Store From Scratch

[Kimball Larsen]

So, we are beginning a redesign of our retail store software, from the ground up. There are plenty of off the shelf products I can use for the basis of my store, but I'd rather build it all myself and thereby completely understand everything it does.

Specifically, I'm looking for pointers to ensure that the system:

A)  Accurately tracks customers and their invoices

C)  Keeps the accountants happy. :-)



Thoughts?

A visit to my local Barnes and Noble store along with a pretty good question answer period with Dr. Google leads me to believe that nobody has written a book on the best practices for building a web- based retail POS. Anyone ever heard of such a thing? B) Allows for our business model that centers around the concept of in-store credit The major failing of our current incarnation of home-grown software is in letter C above, but it could stand to improve in A and B as well. -- Kimball
