Isn't it possible to just link to a Magento "checkout" site for a start? 
   Or is this possible already?

I guess many sites doesn't need FE-users in TYPO3, but only "Shop 
Users". So it might be useful to be able to "use" the complete 
registration and checkout process from Magento for such sites, just by 
linking to Magento. It might even look cooler than "sr_feuser_register" 
or similar approaches that we have in TYPO3.

Currently the integration uses SOAP, which works over http. Having 
Magento and TYPO3 on the same server (even same DocumentRoot), isn't 
there a way to use Magento's API locally instead of through SOAP?
