ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for participating in an online ecosystem. This online ecosystem represents an interrelated community of merchants. When a merchant participates in this online community of merchants, each merchant shares sales information (such as a sales price and a sale quantity) with the online community. That is, each merchant is informed of each sale of every merchant participating in the community. Each merchant, then, knows the commercial activity of the entire ecosystem.
