we wil stay on 6.2, and then work to rebuild what we need to move forward.
much of our system was external but the lineitems and cart and formulas are helpful.

all this has to compete with systems taht are so easy and plug and play already - so spending our linited rsources rebuilding unexpectedly is what hurts.

We do not use the store builder and we do most of our own functions relating to
e- commerce. i think we calculate our own shipping and sometimes taxes etc.

but we certainly use the cart to create the cart databases.
to do line item totals etc etc.
we use the functions in the formulas often
and the cart related comments to read those databases.
to do the and the system sweeps those databases away.

I am not altogether sure what other functions from the e commerce part we use the built in application for.

I can see replacing those with manually generated databases.

Is there some summary of what the cart commands that will be removed are?
and then we need to determine what they all do and the cart itself does so that we can replace those with something new.

With the sand shifteng around our feet here and also on teh credit cart requiremenst it seems like it may be time to consider other simpler packaged solutions.

maybe that was why Donovan left.
