Using DW, OSC & Paypal

[Guest]

Hi-

I have a website that I have designed in DW CS4, with pages for the different products we sell. I want to integrate OSC by adding an "Add to Cart" button on the item's page in DW. When they check out, I want Paypal as a pmt method.

I do not want my "website" to be OSC's store front and I do not want to use Paypal's Shopping Cart. Is there a way to do this? Do I need to use buttons from OSC to insert into my DW page? Do I need to put a link in DW page to "Online Catalog" which would take them to OSC shop? I want to make this as easy as possible on customers...they shouldn't have to click on an item in the website to view it and then have to click on "online catalog" to go through OSC shop to order.

I would appreciate any suggestions or information. Thanks in advance, Debbie

You can install osCommerce in a folder on the root directory. You would still have to setup the osC site, but you could create links to the products from your html site to catalog by using an absolute URL links such as:

 

From HTML pages link to catalog:

 

'http://www.yourStore.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=24'

 

Then use paypal , googlecheckout, etc to express link directly to alternative payment processors...
