see the doc/ dir in the commerce extension.

as for adding items to the customers basket from a 3rd party extension;

$basket=$GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->tx_commerce_basket;
if ( !is_object($basket) ){
	tx_commerce_div::initializeFeUserBasket();
	$basket=$GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->tx_commerce_basket;
}
if (!$basket->add_article($articleUid,$quantity)){
	//for some reason this didn't work, could be a stock problem, etc.
	//put code to handle it here
}

Commerce isn't managed by a single company but rather by a group of 
volunteer workers. So if you cannot implement it your self, you need to 
either convince us that it will be a usefull addition to the commerce 
core, or hire a company/freelance developer to do it for you.
