A vendor sends, to a host, affiliate links for resources that the vendor is offering for sale and formatting for its on-line order form. The host uses the affiliate links and a vendor selection criterion to select a vendor from which to purchase a customer's desired resource. The host populates, without further customer input, the order form of the selected vendor. The host receives a purchase availability status for the desired resource and, when the desired resource is available, completes the purchase from the selected vendor, without any additional customer input. When the desired resource is unavailable, the host populates an order form of another selected vendor using the respective formatting and completes the purchase without any additional customer input. |
