trying to link to products

I already have my products listed on a web page built in html and css. is it possible to code them to add to the shopping cart without having to set the products up again in the zen cart?

Possible, sort of. Advisable, no.

You run into problems with sessions when you switch back and forth between non-Zencart and Zencart pages.

If you post a link to your site, we can give you an idea how difficult it would be to duplicate it in Zencart.

I'd disagree with Steve's reply and suggest that it's not possible to do what you want - it's not possible to add a rpoduct to the cart that does not exist in the cart database.

An assumption is what you arrive at when you get tired of thinking...

OK, if that's not possible, is it possible to make my zen cart page look like my site by copying the html and styles?

I see no reason why not - you can do almost anything with a template
