METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING COMMERCE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system which connects a customer who makes a request to buy an article by using the Internet to a proper store in compliance with the request. SOLUTION: This Internet selling system opens a homepage on a WEB server and registers plural stores as VAS stores or i-net stores. Each VAS store has its own homepage. Each i-net store is enabled to communicate with the WEB server. In a homepage, a customer is made to select whether a purchase destination is given priority when an article is bought and when the customer selects the purport that the purchase destination is given priority, the customer is made to access the homepage of the VAS store and connected to the VAS store. When the customer does not select the purport, on the other hand, the customer is made to input a request regarding article purchase, a proper store is selected out of the i-net stores in compliance with the request, and the i-net store and customer are connected to each other.
