E-Commerce Tutorial

[Scott]

Hi all !
As I'm currently working on a project which needs some E-commerce functions to be built in, I'd like to have some more information on this subject. I've never created an e-commerce site before, so I don't know anything about it.
I know lots of you have experience in this field, whether it is for your hosting company or webdesign company or a shop. Does any of you have a sort of tutorial, or guidelines I should follow? Do I need to contact an external firm? How to implement e-commerce in an asp.net website? Any literature I need on this? ...

Thousands of questions, I know, sorry

Any help would be seriously appreciated !

Thanks in advance !
Niels

By ecommerce functions, you mean the ability to accept credit card payments

For that, all you need is a payment gateway. I would recommend authorizenet because they allow maximum integration into your website.
