Integrating with the AbleCommerce API

I'm looking for information regarding the AbleCommerce API. I work for a software company and we would like to integrate our Inventory Management and Point of Sale software with numerous AbleCommerce webstores. We would like to control our product data from our software. I have worked with the API of some other e-commerce asp's and have ran into road blocks when trying to add products with options (variants).

Questions,

1. If AbleCommerce hosts the webstore, can you communicate to the webstore via a webservice?
1. Through the webserivce can you insert and update products with options?
2. Through the webservice can you query customers and order data?
3. Are their API methods to collect payment via the webservice?

Thanks,

Darren

All of these could be done but for that you have to write your own Web Service AbleCommerce doesn't provide any Web Service for these tasks.
