Be cautious of that many products. I've been suckered into adding lots and lots of products before and not having been compensated. Clients will always say that they want you to build a cart and teach them to load the products. Though, it never quite works that way - they never have time and then they come back to you to load the products. I would have something that if they want to load products and then they ask you to do it, charge them an hourly maintenance fee or something that will make it worth your while, then get 6 of your friends with laptops, rent a lower-end hotel conference room with internet for a day, bring a small router and have a product loading party. Next time I get stuck with a large ecom site, I am planning to do this and going to charge a flat fee for all the products that need loading.
However, it sounds great. Shopping carts are not that difficult and you'll have plenty of help around here with SSL and AIM integration if that's the way they go.
Without a doubt, CS cart is the best cart out there right now and you can thank Matt for the lead on that. Zen cart works but is not easy to use and forget about do-it-yourself-ers with Zen cart. OS commerce much the same way. Magento is supposed to be great and I tried it once, but would be hard(er) to customize than CS-cart. Nancy's Green Elephant is the site I built in CS-cart and it is wonderful with a lot of great features that make loading thousands of products easier than most of those other carts.
Hope the meeting goes well,
