WebReservations.com is a way for small and medium sized businesses to take rental reservations online (for vacation homes, Recreational Vehicles, spa appointments, and so on). WebReserv.com was founded by Martin Israelsen, who is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
Martin and his colleagues started investigating and eventually found some software packages out there for hotels. But outside of the hospitality industry they discovered there were few options. For instance, there were few good systems to allow consumers to book classes for a scuba diving trainer or to rent scuba equipment.
So, according to Martin, “We took the challenge and created a Web-based reservations system for small and medium-sized businesses. It consists of two parts. There is a reservations engine, which you can embed into your own website to take rental reservations. You also can be listed for free in the business directory at WebReserv.com and be found that way. But both are integrated, avoiding double booking.”

Fat Free Cart
The Fat Free Cart is a simple low-cost shopping cart solution that integrates with PayPal, GoogleCheckout, ClickBank and 2Checkout. It offers secure digital downloads, in addition to offering standard shopping-cart checkout for physical goods including shipping calculation.
It's an economical and slick way to integrate a checkout into your site.

The whole thing is very smoothly integrated into your site and your customers don't have to leave until they go to check out.

Shopbloom
Bloom, a new chain of grocery stores recently unveiled by supermarket giant Food Lion. Bloom has incorporated both innovative technologies and customer-friendly practices to create ‘a different kind of grocery store’. With a swipe of their Bloom Breeze Cards, shoppers can get personal scanners to carry about the store, scanning items and bagging them right in their carts as they shop.
The scanners provide a running tally of how much customers are spending, so they can be mindful of their budgets. Scanners also allow Bloom to send instant messages to customers, alerting them when prescriptions have been filled or their deli orders are ready for pick-up. When they're ready to check out, shoppers simply go to any check-out lane and scan an “end of trip” barcode and the order automatically downloads to a register, so there's no need to unload and reload the cart. Which brings the average checkout time down to 32.7 seconds. (There are random checks to make sure nobody is cheating the system.)
