Although there are a very large number of suggestion threads on the topic, I did not find a suggestion topic that covers it completely:

Make IP.Nexus an affiliate store. For webmasters it would be an easy method of generating income, if IP.Nexus would allow us to sell any affiliate product, weather its amazon book, cafepress or zazzle t-shirts, products from Google Affiliate Network, Clickbank, Commision Junctions.

Basically the idea of the these affiliate networks is all the same: the networks provides a feed, which can be used to load products, description, image, price into the store.
The store displays the products, customers can order those products, the affiliate vendor will ship the goods and the webmaster gains a commission.
It would be very attractive if IP.Nexus would cater to this and it would be easy for webmasters to make money on IP.N.

Optimally users would be able to post reviews of the product.

I had this idea too few days ago

That's actually a fantastic idea.

I know most of the affiliate networks work using link-based referral ID's, so even if an actual feed of the item isn't realized some sort of simple redirect with the webmaster's ID (integrated with Nexus) would work well for most people.

ie, items display in Nexus, but the actual 'work' of packaging/shipping the product falls on the source company (for example, Amazon)? If so, I'm definitely for that.

Thinking on it though, I'm sure that's more of less already possible, just a matter of using a custom php script to communicate with the source company to say what was purchased, where it goes to and what shipping method, etc.

I got one of these licenses a year ago

Nice thing about this is you can use it across all your domains with one license.. Slick set-up too. Be hard to talk me out of that over a single site license not to mention the options.

Not sure about Nexus but obviouly can do it with IP.Content easily enough (as per my site)

Yes, this is what I mean. Affiliate networks allow webmasters to generate income, while the affiliate networks handle the business side of things and pays a commission to the webmaster.

That might not be a bad idea, everyone should help make the decision.

I was looking for a way to add Cafepress items into the store.  Really which their were such a plugin that allows for us to sell other items than needing to stock the items and ship them.
