Separate stores or a single store with multiple vendors for instance.
While I can't speak to how good these are, have your looked into Dansie Shopping Cart and Kawin e-Mall? I don't believe they are ASP driven.
we provide a multilingual, multicurrency, Savepayment, multiclient (=Mall) Solution for eShops.
It is Sales Optimized and very easy to administrate. Only Backdraft from my point of view, the solution is PHP based with an SQL DB.
Pricewise it is also very interesting.
If you want to learn more go for <snip> (still in german) or for english, send me your mail.

not really, but 'interesting' price does gives me some anxiety. :)
It's not necessarily multiple carts as much as it is multiple store fronts.
Think of a common theme and then imagine the variety of stores that cater to that theme. Take sports. There are equipment stores, shoe stores, gyms, health and training, vitamin supplements, etc. One common umbrella site with a variety of stores underneath makes alot of sense to the shopper.
All of the transactions are handled by one cart and each vendor gets his/her own order notification and payment at the time the purchases are made.

During the late '90s a lot of firms were selling thingies that they didn't exactly have a name for. Marketers decided that it was un-chic to sell THINGS; businesses wanted SOLUTIONS.
Better yet...ROBUST SOLUTIONS that were SCALABLE for the MISSION-CRITICAL needs ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE.
In the 80s we called it: Good Business Software.

Amazing! The phrase "across the enterprise" appears 157,000 times in Google. Does ANYONE use that phrase in conversation?
I am crafting my own solution, haven't found anything canned that I care for. It is a growing process. I am one of those guys that thinks you should learn how to do your books and taxes yourself before hiring an accountant. Just appreciate the value.
I don't have any helpful recommendations for you, but you might bookmark my contact information if you have questions in the future.
I have a similar situation with multiple vendors. Some are drop ship and some are distributors. I fixed up my back-end to sort out all the orders properly either per vendor or per customer.
The nice thing about a risen framework is you can hook up to other data sources, content providers and getways in a bat of an eye.
