Not Sure How to Proceed...

[72and86]

Real Neweeb here. I guess I'm at an impasse. I'm confused and a little overwhelmed ...
Ive installed ZC and not sure how to proceed. I followed the tutorial and watched a couple you-tube videos. I can finally to log-in to the admin panel. (This was quite an accomplishment for ME as this is all new to me…)

My question is can I even use Zen-cart with the way my website is made? I don't have little squares with 3 lines in blocks for selling items. I have entire pages dedicated to the item with a "buy it Now" button. Each page is a product. I use buttons.
for example:
http://www.12oclockhightv.com/Sale20offDVDs1crit.htm

(right now I have the buttons take the buyer to my eCrater site where they have still another screen to get to the checkout. Not ideal.)
I would obviously like the buttons to go straight to the checkout/cart. (I have Stripe.com but was told Authorize.net was easier to use? But the have more fees…)

It sounds like you're asking if you can use Zencart as a 'back-end' shopping cart in conjunction with your existing site. If so, the answer is 'not easily'. It will be much simpler to make Zencart your whole site and add your existing products, especially since it doesn't look like you have a large number of products.

Don't worry about being confused - we all were at first. Build your Zencart site in a different directory on your server (or a different server - you didn't mention where Zencart is installed) without touching your existing site until you're ready.

Why are you wanting to switch to Zencart now?

Your "Buy Now" buttons will be replaced with "Add to Cart" buttons

If you only sell 12 o clock high media then you can adjust the categories to suit
