BACKGROUND ART] If the basic system is not completely equipped with goods list, business- connected firm management, order management, deposit management, sending and CS management and the like to establish a shopping mall over the internet, a shopping mall is not managed smoothly, and accordingly, the development of system for the smooth management of a shopping mall is additionally required.

Shopping malls are largely divided to two groups. One group is prepared with the basic system, and the other makes management for goods list, payment, delivery and the like execute in a substitutive system.

But, suppliers providing shopping malls with the substitutive system have not directly managed the profit for goods selling and have gotten only a part of the profit for selling from the substitutive system.

Shopping malls with the basic system have an advantage on having the direct profit from goods sales. But, these shopping malls have the disadvantage that they cannot be easily approached because general enterprises wishing to introduce internet commerce have to provide the combination system equipped with goods list, payment, delivery and the like.

And they also have the problem that suppliers of goods independently have to enroll goods on each shopping mall because they do not share their goods with goods of other shopping mall and hold goods list independently.

And also, the independent shopping malls independently equipped with goods list database (DB), delivery and payment system have the separated goods list database, and accordingly, it is not easy that they collaborate events such as joint purchase, limited sale and bargain priced sale with other sites. Therefore, they have the low effect on synergy of internet commerce.

[DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION] It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a system and method for internet commerce for an enterprise wishing to introduce internet commerce capable of facilitating its management.
