I'm obviously missing something...

I'm new to Zen Cart. I'll say that right out of the gate. I'm familiar with Wordpress and integrating Wordpress into my own websites - even going outside of their template structures.

I have a website: http://www.selectorsound.com

All I want to do is to integrate zen cart into my website. My website is NOT entirely a store, but has a store aspect to it. Rather than integrating my website INTO Zen Cart, I would rather go the other way.

As far as I can tell, the entire knowledge base here is FAQs. I see URLs that use the word "tutorial" in them, but they are just a collection of questions and answers.

Is there some tutorial that explains how I can integrate Zen Cart into my website?

I understand the customized templates section, but rather than creating a new header, footer, stylesheet and all that apart from what my website is currently using, I would like to use what's already there. How is this done? With Wordpress, I can call an include and then call wordpress tags throughout my pages. I figured there's something similar to that for zen cart.

Thanks and I am sure this has been posted and re-posted many times, but I haven't been able to find any thing that specifically speaks to my problem yet.

Zen Cart isn't designed to do that. There are so many things that need to work together and carry php sessions that it is not really practical. You can make Zen Cart look like the rest of your site but it isn't made to be a "module" of something else.
