I need open-source e-commerce software that enables me to create a 'shopping mall' website?

Question

The website I need to create will have a 'shopping mall' of websites, but I need the ability for a user to be able to purchase and checkout from all stores in this mall easily at one time, and then have confirmations sent to the stores and back to the consumer.

I know Amazon.com has such a system, but I need to be able to customize it according to my needs.

What do I search for, when looking for a 'dual user open-source e-commerce', is that the right terminology?

I have heard about magentocommerce.com but I am not sure if it has such capabilities. Does that mean that I will need to build in my custom capabilities from scratch, or the back-end will help with that?

Is there anything else I should know about when attempting to use such software? Any ideas?
