    Default Can Zen Cart integrate with my current gallery?

    Wordpress-NexGen-Zen Cart 1.3.9.

    I have looked hi and lo for a cart. There is one thing that I totally do not understand. How do I tell if a particular cart, in this case Zen Cart, will intergrate with my current store or if it needs to set up its own pages

    I have a good start on a photo gallery that I spent a MONTH learning to make It uses Word Press and NexGen Gallery. I really do not want to waste it. I like it The Paypal Simple Cart integrated with it and simply put a button and a cart on the left hand column of my NexGen Gallery But the Paypal cart has a script glitch Many of the carts I read about do not say if they integrate or build their own pages. I see in the config that it appears that Zen Cart can make its own pages but I do not see how to get it to use my NexGen pages

    Can someone please help me get things going. I am a loyal, appreciative listener

    You must approach this from the other direction and attempt to integrate your gallery into ZenCart

    ZenCart is not designed to use ONLY as a backend to other pages that have a "Buy Now" selector.

    It is designed to become your main site portal as for most selling is their primary objective and the rest is fluff

    Well, I must say that I am elated with the speed of the first reply to my post. Thank you very much. However, I sure hope someone expounds on what you said. You may have read in my first post, "a photo gallery that I spent a MONTH learning to make". That is a clue that I am not literate in this stuff yet. But, I am persistant.

    Again, thanks.

    If all you require is something like what you have then there are others programs that can just add a buy now button to what you have

    It is not ZenCart...

    I see that Zen Cart has a ton of config options and it is probably overkill for me. But I will eventially sell other items. I wouldn't mind at all, learning to get Zen Cart going on my site or visa versa.
    But, do you think Zen Cart could be set up to do as simple a thing as I need, which is at this time, selling photos with 3 or 4 product options.
    Do you recommend that I move on to something else or what?

    Well persist, and install ZenCart in a folder and learn it or install xampp on your PC and then ZenCart there locally to learn

    If you persist I believe that you will find the many features to your advantage in the future
