We needed a dependable and extensible method to receive and process instant order notifications (IONs) from outside sources (websites), namely Snowcovered (Portal Store) and DotNetNuke Marketplace (ASP Store Front with Marketlink). In short, we wanted to create accounts and assign roles with expirations on our portal the same way we do when we sell products in our own store. Further, we wanted to send emails to our customers when they bought something from us regardless of the website they purchased it on. So we created Vendor Connections (VC).

If you sell your products in the DotNetNuke® community and want to keep track of sales, manage user accounts and roles assigning expirations, and email your customer with professional email messages with attachments customized to your individual products, regardless of your selling source, then VC is for you. VC facilitates connections for you, as a vendor. Connections from sales sources into your portal. Connections to customers. Connections to single product managemnt. Connections to email message management. Connections to user account management.
