Both of these are very straightforward with the Web. You just have to model everything as a resource; - the product, perhaps as a different resource for each stage of its existence - the order, part of a contract initiated when the seller published a document representing its intent to sell (like an HTML form, ala[1]), and the buyer accepted that offer - the invoice(s), related to the order with a typed hyperlink etc..
