We are looking to build an e-commerce store front for EmeraldComputers.com. This is a two part project, first setting up the cart, and second is to enter in the first 300 or so items we sell.

Here is what we are looking to do. I would like to talk with you first about which cart to select. So far Zeus Cart, or OScommerce seems to be the best but I am open to suggestions. I only want to use open source cart software. I would also like it to be PHP driven. I would like to include Google analytics or something like it in the cart.

We currently do all sales with PayPal so that is the only payment integration that is needed. We have about 300 items that we need to have entered into the cart, I will give you the item name, but you would need to find a photo online. This is common computer stuff so it should not be hard.

I need for this cart to be used by my affiliates, so it would need to have affiliate tracking, and I would need to know which affiliate sent the sale to us. Here is the hard part though, some of our affiliates would like to replace our logo and contact info with theirs, so there needs to be a way to do that with ease. It would also be nice if the different affiliates could use a different skin if they chose. Maybe the best way to do this is to install the cart software for EACH affiliate and simply just access the same database for the products. We could even have a separate product database for each affiliate that would download from the main one daily (Zeus Cart does not do affiliates so we need a separate install for each affiliate, and a small admin page to add/remove and monitor them.)

To support this project I do have a server, with unlimited space and bandwidth, it also has mySql and Cpanel.

Preference will be given to programmers from the Philippines so mention that if you are from there. This is because we plan to reopen our office there some day soon. Of course the main factors will be time, cost and your reputation.

I would be willing to put half into escrow at the start and put the other half in when data entry is done and testing starts. I will release escrow when done. I expect daily updates and communication. It is ok for a team to do this together. I use Yahoo Chat for most communication.
