Hi
I am completely new to Commerce Server my only experience if 8 fun packed hours yesterday reading "Building Solutions with Microsoft Commerce Server 2002" book yesterday.
We have a client who builds houses. They are looking to have a site that will allow users who have purchased a house that has not been built yet to customize their house. For example pick the colors of the walls or what kitchen applicances to put in. This will be in the form of a shopping cart.
The twist is that there is a different catalog of products for each type of house they build. They only build maybe 5 of each type and they build thousands of homes every year so that is a lot of different catalogs.
A second twist is that some products aren't available if a part of the houses build stage has passed. For example you can't change the color of the walls if the kitchen units are aleady up.
Can you do this kind of thing in Commerce Server? Is that what Virtual Catalogs are for and pipelines?
Some advice please?
Mark
