    Default Going from paypal shopping cart to Zen Cart

    For starters I am a comple Zen newbie and have yet to experiment with the cart, all of which I plan on doing.

    I have a site that I manage www.yellowbirdproject.com which currently uses the paypal shopping cart, using add to cart and view cart buttons.

    Pretty much all I want to know is if I can use the Zen cart and keep the layout of the site and add to cart buttons intact.

    I know this is a simple question but I was wondering if someone could give me some guidance before I start playing around with the cart.

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Chaz

    The simple answer is no. You need to recreate your look in the Zen Cart template system and put your products into the Database used to store all of the data.

    I don't mind adding my products to the database. My main concern is keeping the same layout...I guess this is not possible then...

    What you want to do is possible.

    You should be able to duplicate the basic layout with Zen cart fairly easily, but you will have to do some custom CSS and XHTML for the product detail page.
