If you are using name virtual-hosting, Apache can serve
different sites based on the domain name, e.g.


# a.b.c.d is your IP
NameVirtualHost a.b.c.d

<VirtualHost name1.server.com>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost name2.server.com>
</VirtualHost>

When using name virtual hosting, Apache looks at the Host: header in the
HTTP request and matches that to VirtualHost blocks.

Ive played with many ecommerce packages (OSC, intershop, home-grown
stuff in Perl, PHP and ASP). Recently built a site using Mambo (err...
that should be called Joomla now ;-) and a plugin callead mambo-phpshop.
The plugin has a complete backend already built so you just customize a
few pages...

Interchange sounds more like a framework that needs more work to build a
complete store, right?
