mineeme Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I installed osCommerce. My store is not based on osCommerce. I want to use osCommercie only as a shopping cart. I couldn't find specific directions on how to do this. Can someone help with more details? Thanks!
Jack_mcs Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 You need to add a link in your site that says Shop, or whatever, to the oscommerce home page.

mineeme Posted September 27, 2006 Author Posted September 27, 2006 You need to add a link in your site that says Shop, or whatever, to the oscommerce home page. Jack hi jack. I added the link that says shop. (mystore.com/shop) Can I create my own add to cart button on my main website that will go directly into this shopping cart. That's what i'm trying to find. Thanks
Jack_mcs Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Oscommerce uses what are called Session ID's (SID's) to track the customers. Your html shop doesn't have these SID's so it can't do what you want. There is a contribution that allows you to extend the SID's to your html site. That may do what you want. I'm sorry but I can't recall the name. Something to do woth outside of shop as I recall. If you search the contributions section for that, you may be able to find it.

dittones Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 mimeene, Question...Are you using your site as a catalog and in your site when a customer finds something they want to buy presses the buy button which brings the information to the oscommerce site shopping cart and the checkout is done on the oscommerce...?

Roman No I want to use osCommerce only as a shopping cart. I want the checkout to happen on PayPal. It's looking more an more possible that I can't do this. My website is html & java. I don't think I can upload all of this to osCommerce.
dittones Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 All the languages work together Oscommerce can be mixed into other web sites...But you are going to have to do some coding...The shopping cart is part of Oscomerce and the shopping cart triggers the Oscommerce chectout system thru to the payment module...creating and order transaction and so on...If I understand you correctly alot of modification is required on your end.
