James Senior over on Technet introduces Office Live Store Manager, which is currently in private beta with several small business customers.
He highlights that “The store manager portion of Office Live enables this small business to have an online store tightly incorporated within their website with the minimum of fuss.”
Before Office Live they used Paypal and had some complicated ASP pages to get around the problem of selling online. The promise of Office Live Store Manager is to offer a one-stop-shop for all online activities for small business.
