Our Answers to the Database
Challenge

Above
you see www.AffordableLamps.com, the Yahoo! Store. Below to the right is
 MyLamps.com
running on the Make-a-Store platform. Obviously, the branding is very different.
But the store owner can manage both stores by working on a single, unified
database.

The Database Challenge
Affordable Lamps had a fairly complex Yahoo! Store with several thousand
products, many of which had multiple options such as finish, shade color,
and size. Their store is branded for discount lighting. THey wanted to build
a new store more aimed at elegant lighting but drawing from the same database
as the current AffordableLamps.com store.
Because it supports automated item export to eBay, they
wanted to build this new store not on the Yahoo! Store platform, but on a
new store platform called
Make-a-Store.
Our job was to write custom RTML to extract the entire
store's database including all the options and coordinate with the engineers
at Make-a-Store so that the Yahoo Store database and all the images and order
information. We worked with the MAS IT department to help them understand
how store databases and images an be uploaded to a Yahoo Store. MAS now
advertises their two-way Yahoo! Store integration on their Home page.
