runawaykinms Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hello, I am looking for a somewhat basic/general, step by step, description of how to integrate a shopping cart into a current website. For example, Step 1 might be: Pick a shopping Cart. However, after this step, what actions do I need to take to integrate it into my current website. Thanks for your help.

Hybride Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 There are a lot of factors involving choosing a shopping cart. What language is your site written in? Are you looking for a commercial or free shopping cart? Is it part of a CMS or is it your own site? Those kinds of things. When you figure that out, then it's just a matter of research.

runawaykinms Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks for your reply, I have researched many shopping carts and have decided that I want to go with Magento. I will be using their free cart software and will be coding in PHP. However, now that I have chose the shopping cart, I am not sure where to start. I know that I will need to download Magento into a folder on my server, but I was looking for a basic description of what to do after that. For example, Magento has many prebuilt includes and pages, but how do I put those pages to work on my previously coded pages?
