A method of automation for loosely affiliated national & international Merchants operating independent businesses from their own exclusive web based stores to market a plurality of products or services and directly retail each other's merchandise as well as their own. That is, numerous merchants operating independently within a technology-based platform may designate products as 'Available for Re-sale' (wholesale Merchandise); said merchandise is robotically inserted into participating stores within the system. When consumers place their retail orders from any web-store, the retail and wholesale transactions are simultaneously completed without further interaction. The retailing merchant (seller) is not required to pre-purchase, stock, or ship any merchandise, thus eliminating traditional multiple-shipping costs from manufacturer to distributor, distributor to retailer, retailer to consumer. The result is that the Wholesaler's merchandise is automatically displayed and sold in the Retailer's store, then perfunctorily shipped from numerous locations across the globe thereby establishing a worldwide warehouse.
