Abstract

Method and system for distribution of products via a transmission network which connects a customer processor, one or more provision processors and a transaction processor. The customer selects, via his customer processor, a product at a provision processor or at the transaction processor which is provided with product information of all connected provision processors. The customer orders the selected product, after which the provision processor sends the selected product and the billing information to the transaction processor. The transaction processor subsequently establishes a connection with the customer processor and sends the product received from the provision processor to the customer processor. The billing information is sent to a collection address.
