I agree with Bart's previous suggestion that ecommerce really needs to be split into a few separate packages.

What might those packages be?

customer-service
contact-manager
bill-of-materials (products)
inventory
sales
orders
accounting
billing
payment-gateway (exists)
shipping-gateway (exists)

??

I have been pulling apart the current data model, and I have separated it into the following sections:

- stores
- categories
- images
- products
- specials/sales/offers
- recommendation system
- product reviews
- customer addresses
- credit cards
- shopping cart/orders
- gift certificates
- shipping
- returns
- financial transactions
- customer service
- email notifications
- problems
- clickstream tracking
- administration
