ASP Shopping Cart Solution w/ multiple store support

Here is the problem I need a solution to. I do not have much
experience in dealing with shopping carts I've setup a few but nothing
this elaborate. I have a client that is dealing with multiple private
schools. Each school will have it's own store and own check out
payment processor but he wants all of the stores to be able to be
managed individually by the schools as well as the ability for him to
manage all of the stores centrally. Is there any type of shopping
cart out there like this? Or something similar or easily manipulated
to deal with multiple stores with store specific administration and
central administration on all of them. I also need to have each user/
buyer to be able to have access to their receipts, as well as, (in the
central administration) to be able to be looked up by student id,
student last name, etc. Any advice or help would be greatly
appreciated! Thank you so much for your time in advance!

I'm sure there is, look for "mall" shopping cart or "multiple store" shopping cart. May not be free.

Well, easy is relative to the developer. Add a database table which defines the stores, then products or whatever, will carry an
association to the store id via a foreign key

You'll have to create a permissions table to allow access by store/student id or whatever is desired.
