Integrating ZenCart products in a website

Hello, I've been looking around the forum and can't seem to find the answer to this, other than that it's not easy (or really possible) at all to get an "Add to Cart" button on another website.

Well, I was wondering if there's ANY way of integrating the products I have in my Zen Cart store to my existing website.

I'd like to have the store as a central hub for all the products I'm selling. However, this is a music production website, so we have a main site that has pages about each of our CDs. It would be nice to integrate something other than just a link to the page in my Zen Cart.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Your best solution is to integrate your other pages into Zen Cart and probably as ezpages without seeing what you currently have.

As you have found, Zen Cart is not designed to be "plugged in" and an "add to cart" from another non-cart page doese not allow the sessions to be created or tracked.

Thanks for the info. I'll read up about EZ pages and see what I can do.

But, here's my website address if you'd like to see what I have in case it conjures up any other ideas :D

Will take a bit more work work with the galleries etc but fully possible

There is a gallery module that you might investigate in the downloads section

Okay Kobra, thanks for the info.

But, now I have the question of the day:

Is it then possible to have Add to Cart buttons on the EZ pages?

Basically, I would like to have the content in the left frame of my site now redirect to an EZ page of the same content. I'm pretty sure (by reading the tutorials about the EZ pages) that they can be customized to look almost exactly the same as what I currently have in that left frame. The ez page would then have the description and cart buttons for the CD or DVD. When they click on Add to Cart, a new window could open and the full store will appear.

That's the dream, at least!

I suggest that you make the ez page a replica of your current page and eventually you scrap the current site

I'll take that into consideration...

...but just out of curiosity's sake, is it possible to have an add to cart button for products on the ezpages?

I have not done this and there is some controversey as to if php code can be parsed from within an ezpage or not....

You might search here about that

By default, PHP cannot be parsed inside ez-pages. Someone has worked out how to allow it, even selectively in certain pages, though DrByte cautioned them about security implications of this.
