Designing some custom software for this requirement would be a tedious job for you. If you are getting paid for it then no harm in doing so
My suggestion would be to choose Zencart or OSCommerce and customize them as per your requirement. Features which you have mentioned can be implemented in oscommerce and I have done similar thing for a customer couple of years ago. I am not sure if I can repeat that.
