E-Commerce Merchants (part 2)

One consideration in designing a web interface to a payment system is the
ability to switch e-commerce providers seamlessly. Has anyone looked into
"isolating" the ecommerce part of a web site so that you could change banks
or merchant accounts without disrupting your users? What comes to mind for
me is a period of overlap, so fulfillment and chargeback is given time to
expire on the old merchant. Also, the need to "skin" the store so site
users see a consistent look and feel through as much of the process as
possible. Any other thoughts? Know of any good tutorials?

Thanks to all for sharing your ideas,
