Interchange-based is doubtful. I looked for many months to find an 
inexpensive integrated store & web system. The best I could do at the 
time was a POS from Lode Data Systems, called The Assistant Manager. 
(http://www.tamretail.com/)

I have made it integrate with IC, although poorly.

There's also Concierge, which I've heard good things about. Look on 
Sourceforge for it.

Don't know about layaways. Has Weblink module, which is what we use with 
IC.

Nope.

with IC.
