  • Publication number: 20030105674
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of facilitating online transactions. The present invention is capable of receiving product information, storing same upon a repository and profiling each product according to geographical region. When a customer accesses the website utilized by the present invention, his or her address information is used to determine a geographical area of residence. Geographical area specific product forms are stored upon the repository in image-type format (for example, PDF format) substantially identical to the forms as they would appear if presented to the customer as a hard copy. Thus, once the customer has verified the correct purchasing information, the invention imports the purchasing information into the appropriate image-type geographical area specific form and displays same to the customer.
