site2.com Thingeys
site3.com Information about Thingys and Widgets and the checkout process.

im looking for some insight on how to make sure when they register, access their account information and check out its all done from site3.com the main thing is the check out.
I don't think you can do this. If site3 is in showcase mode (only information, can't buy), then you can't have checkout on it. If you go with cross-carts, you'll be able to checkout from which-ever store you want.

You could have this: use cross-cart. site1 and site2 adds to cart, but has no checkout (manually remove all checkout buttons). practically force customers to go to site3 for checkout. BUT, now you need site3 to be a regular store and someone can simply come to site3 and buy stuff from both Widgets and Thingeys directly from site3. So, what happens now with the licensing?

I really hope you understand what i'm saying cause after re-reading my own words, i got lost...

if i'm mistaking about these possibilities, someone please correct me.
