My cousin's side of the family has owned a small business since 1951.
It's a retail shop of sorts. It's very low tech. I was over there today
with my brother and we started thinking about what it would take
to make the store work online as well as the Brick & Morter.

There is no database file of inventory, etc...

Other than a domain and a hosting company, what would it
take for them to sell their wares online?

thanks!

i'll get you a more detailed answer offlist, but the key components are:

1) secure shopping cart and credit-card transactions
2) shipping deals with UPS / FedEx / DHL including all the customs cr&p if there are international deliveries.
