But I agree with Stuart that it is technically doable... especially considering WebDNA's use of the globals directory.. ie "^". Here is what I have seen as some potential issues to consider.. 1.) More and More, merchant accounts, gateways etc.. won't like it if you if you have multiple "store fronts"... or what they see as conflicting signs of "who you are" as a business. There may be some of the same issues to get around with live shipping integration and other integration with other services offered out there. 2.) "Sharing a cart" and having a separate catalog database are a bit different, but, if talking about the first, I would guess there would be a significant complication in how WebDNA's core engine is set up... may be better off creating your own cart function and using cookies. (For example, directory hierarchy (relating to "ShoppingCarts,Orders,etc.."), Formula's Database (would need multiple versions), etc..)
