How can i integrate an amazon astore as another category?

I would like to add a category called "supplies" that flows seamlessly with the other categories in my store. I tried to do it as an ezpage, but I cannot figure out how to display it as a category like the other true categories. Is there a way I can change the referencing link to direct a category to the ezpage? I use v1.3.9, my site is https://www.zookiescrafts.com.

Not sure what you're asking. You want to link another store from your Zen Cart store?

Re: How can i integrate an amazon astore as another category?

The store currently has products that my wife makes by hand, and I want to offer some things we cannot make, via amazon "astore". The Amazon astore supplies an iframe link. I want to use this as another category in my site that will appear like the other categories on my main page. I set it up as an ezpage and it looked great, I just couldn't figure out a way to make it its own category like the rest. Hopefully that clarifies this a bit. I could set up the ezpage again to show the difference...

Re: How can i integrate an amazon astore as another category?

In general, Iframe on zencart is not a good idea.

Secondly, rather than thinking about what might be convenient for you, think of how your plan will irritate and annoy customers...

Firstly, if I was a customer confronted with what would appear to be very ODD BEHAVIOUR on the site, I would be suspicious, and probably navigate out quickly.

Secondly, if they add to Amazon AND to Zencart, they will be MIGHTY confused when the time comes to checkout... Part of what they are buying will checkout with your ZC store and part will require checkout with Amazon.

This is not a very good idea as far as I am concerned...

Thanks for the advice, it sure would be confusing... I will rethink this.
