Can this be done with Zen Cart??

Ok I am setting up a new area for a client to allow purchasing of a few products. His site is the way he wants to keep it.

So I know how to create buy buttons outside Zen Cart for insertion into other html pages but I need to know if there is a way to get rid of all the extra options.

I only need the middle part.
I added a picture below to show the highlighted area I need. What file would I change to achieve this. So just the middle part. No sides, no header, no footer. all of that has been designed.

Thanks

As in your other post, you can't really do that. Zencart is designed to be the whole site.

So just the middle part. No sides, no header, no footer.

To turn off side columns: in admin/Configuration/Layout Settings change the value of Column Right Status - Global and Column Left Status - Global to 0.

You can't really disable header as a whole in admin (unless a site is under maintenance; then you do it in Configuration/Website Maintenance), but you can eliminate all of header's elements, which with some css manipulation should do the trick.
To turn off display of categories: in Config/Lay. Set. set Categories - Tabs Menu ON/OFF to 0.
To turn off EZ-pages links: in Conf/EZ-Pages Settings, change EZ-Pages Display Status - HeaderBar accordingly.
To turn off serch option: in Tools/Layout Boxes Controler set sideboxes/your template/search_header.php status to OFF and OFF.
To get rid off remaining text use Tools/Developers Tool Kit to trace the text and remove it.

The case is similar with footer, you need to disable elements.
To turn off EZ-Pages: Configuration/EZ-Pages Settings, set EZ-Pages Display Status - FooterBar to 0.
To turn off IP adress display: Conf./Lay. Set. set Footer - Show IP Address status to 0.
Get rid off the remaining text using Developers Tool Kit.

You may also want to have a look at the inspiring story of Plastique Monkey's site (page disigner describes how he achieved seamless integration of zen-cart into exinting page):
