If you're going to do this all through an email, then I am sure that will go well, but I believe that you can do so much more with Item Manager!
I assume you are looking for a solution without hacking the plugin core files... Ok, you won't get a ready made solution here but I'll try to give you hints and considerations how to solve the problem.
In principle you only need tree things to get started with a GS based e-Commerce store:
1. Item Manager
2. HTML form
3. Script to receive, check and send data
You can use IManager now to create your product categories with any fields you like: name, price, number, blah blah blah.
On the product pages in the store frontend you'll need a form to send product data like item id, number of articles ordered and the customer data such as delivery address.
Next step, you'll need to create a script that receives and processes the product and customer data from your html form. There you can do two separate checks; check one handles the customer data, an order can be immediately generated and dispatched by email. And the second check handles the product data (item id, number) and then passes the data to the IManager, which can save or process it. For example, in order to update a product quantity in your store.
I hope these tips could a little help you ;)
