    I have just had a new company website made for our business and would like to have our customers able to login to zencart from our companys hoempage - which is not a zencart page.

    Does anyone ahve the code that would be needed to pass the values of email address and password from an outside text box to zen-cart and automatically log the customer in?

    Default Re: Having Customer Login on a page outside of Zen Cart?

    Nobody has ever done this before? I am about to launch our new site and had it designed so the user can login directly from our company page.

    Any help would be great.

    I know that we need to pass the parameters of email address and password field to ZenCart but am wondering if anyone knows how to do that as I do not and our web designer does not...

    Because of the security token Zen Cart uses for the login - it is not possible to login from outside the cart in the current version.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    Is there true for version 1.3 as well?
