How to link Zencart to an existing website

[pmhishi]

Hi ALL

I started using Zencart yesterday and am stuck. I have installed successfully and done all the configurations and set my categories and products correctly.

Now I need to know how to add this cart to my site and how to add the buy now buttons which will add items to the cart.

My site is ambrozi.net without the full cart

Please someone give me a little insight.

I'm afraid that the insight isn't going to be very helpful. Zen Cart is designed to be the store, rather than be integrated into one. So to use Zen Cart's cart facility and order handling you would also need to set up all your products in it.

Only then could you create links to add each product to the shopping cart. But each of these links would need to be constructed and maintained manually and you would need to make a lot of changes to the Zen Cart code to bring people back from the cart to your main site rather than on into the Zen Cart if they want to continue shopping.

All-in-all, I'd say it would be easier to take your design and implement it as a Zen Cart.

Looking at your site, I don't think it would be all that difficult to create a template for Zencart to duplicate the look.
