For the sake of easier reading, I'm going to answer these in reverse.
Yes, it was an official online store owned by Happinet. They were the ones who sold the Geno Breaker Jet, Heavy Arms Konig Wolf, Zoids Core Box (including the reissue Mammoth) and the second version of the Command Zoids (16 types instead of 12+2).
They also ran a lot of custom contests, with prizes including chrome Zero armours, chrome Blade Liger/Geno Saurer, gold chrome Geno Saurer, Red Matrix Dragon/Leostriker, Blue Seismosaurus/Styluarmor, Red Whitz Wolf/Savinga, Green Death Raser/Parablade, Shikkoku Gairyuki Shin and Black Evoflyer. I think most or all of the prizes could also be found elsewhere, though.
They're fairly interchangeable (in both English and Japanese), although "Gashapon" is mostly used for products sold by Bandai. Most of the Zoids minis are sold by Yujin, which just calls them "Gacha".
I'm assuming you want something more than this? Okay, let's see...

I think that's everything that was sold in gachapons, but I could be missing some...
Can anyone tell me about ZoidsCore.com? I remember it back in the day and its random stock photos of kits and stuff. I wanna say it was a store, kind of? But I feel like maybe it had a little more content. Was this an official store? I remember it being behind the release of the K Wuf HA. Were there any other Zoids Core kits?
They also ran a lot of custom contests, with prizes including chrome Zero armours, chrome Blade Liger/Geno Saurer, gold chrome Geno Saurer, Red Matrix Dragon/Leostriker, Blue Seismosaurus/Styluarmor, Red Whitz Wolf/Savinga, Green Death Raser/Parablade, Shikkoku Gairyuki Shin and Black Evoflyer. I think most or all of the prizes could also be found elsewhere, though.
Also, is it Gashapon or Gachapon? I have seen it spelled both ways but Zoids seems to use Gashapon.
Does anyone have a list of all the Gashapon sets and which Zoids were in each?
