Vinay,

For the most part this sort of thing isn't driven so much by product settings as by ProductStore and other such settings that are not product specific.

As we discussed before there isn't really anything built in for this, but most of the data structures that would be needed do exist, and even quite a bit of logic that should be compatible with this. A fair amount of customization/extension would be needed. You can use basic building blocks like ShoppingList, BillingAccount, Payment and Invoice (and of course OrderHeader and related, etc).

First things first though: what you are describing is not a simple business process and should be defined very carefully before you go any further, including variations and exceptions and so on.
