JS based product page - Can I easily integrate into ZC or do I need custom coding?

I am developing a site where the product page is a Javascript based script that allows the user to dynamically make selections in the page. Once all is selected, I want them to be able to add to cart. Is there some (relatively) easy way to integrate this process into ZC or do I need to hire a coder?

TIA for your help.

Instead of building the product page in JS and then trying to link it to Zen Cart, try building your JS onto/into the relevant ZC files (product_listing.php or tpl_product_info_display.php or an attributes php file).

There are some mods that use JS already, and looking at them might help you integrate your code.

Unfortunately, I already have the JS based product developed. So I need to figure out how to integrate the existing product into ZC.

Zen Cart was not designed to operate like a paypal button that you plug into a page. It will take serious custom coding if it is even possible, and you will probably be best off hiring a pro who knows how to make it happen or convert your code to ZC.
