Search the mailing list archives for "mall".  developer.akopia.com

>Can I do this with Interchange?

It has been done.  But I wouldn't know the first thing about 
it.  :-)  Please see the mailing list archives and the documentation about 
Malls.  There are a lot of business-type questions that need to be answered 
before the technical questions.

You can create new catalogs by copying from an existing template, or using 
your own template with makecat.  As far as I know, no one has customized 
the admin for creating new catalogs.  That would be a nice addition, if 
anyone is up to it.

Good luck, and have fun!
