Abstract: A method for using a click-thru interface to facilitate on-line sales of products and services. The method includes receiving inventory information from a plurality of distributors. The inventory information describes a number of products maintained by the distributors. A service provider in communication with the distributors maintains a core database and stores the inventory information in the core database. The service provider's core database communicates with resellers to enable the resellers to select a portion of the inventory information and compile the selected inventory information in an automatically updateable pull frame which is communicated to be displayed on a web page operated by the reseller. In this way a single pull frame can include inventory information from multiple distributors in a uniform format.
