Question:	Do we need a special server to use the connector?
Answer:	No. The connector uses very little processing power. It's normally installed on the same computer your Fishbowl Server program is running.
Question:	We don't need the images from Fishbowl placed online. Can that be changed?
Answer:	Yes. We can turn off that capability when the connector software is installed.

Answer:	Yes. We can turn off that capability when the connector software is installed.
Question:	We have a custom built shopping cart, will the connector work with it?
Answer:	Yes. The cost is a little higher but we can write some custom software to make it interface with almost any type of cart.

Answer:	Yes. We can write some custom software to make that work.
Question:	When our orders are downloaded, we want them all assigned to one Fishbowl customer instead of creating a new customer for each one. Can your connector do that.
Answer:	Yes. We just modify the software we place on your web site to send the data differently, making that work.
