I am new to the world of e-commerce and was able to find a great deal of information online relating to starting an e-commerce site. However, I have not been able to find a good website that explains the essentials of integrating an e-commerce site with a bricks and mortar operation. Does anyone know of a site I could visit that would explain this to me?

Also, from what I have gathered thus far, I need to check there is integration between the shopping cart, POS software, merchant account, gateway, merchant processor, host, SSL certificate, virtual terminal and PCI compliance companies. I have an understanding of the role each of these play, but am confused about integration in general. Which of these components to my e-commerce/bricks and mortar operation would I need to check for integration? Are there any components I am not mentioning?

Hopefully I’ve made my question clear…thanks for the help.
