A: There are 2 ways of integrating our shopping cart with your website:
1) Use build-in web catalog that is generated automatically and is based on the database of the products in the cart. You can use HTML templates to adjust the look of the web catalog and to make it match the rest of your website or our own store. Here is an example of such catalog:
http://www.shoppingcart.org/catalog/store/
2) You can use existing web pages and simply add "add to cart" buttons to it. All you will have to do is to copy and paste HTML code into your pre-existing pages. Instructions are as follow:
1) Enter all your items into the shopping cart database. For your purposes you can just enter basic information on the items (item's name and price).
2) Next you would have to add an HTML code for the new "Add to cart" button into your existing pages to link them with the shopping cart. You can use one of this HTML codes for "add to cart" button. First contains qty field, second had a hidden qty field with qty set at 1. Item number should be changed from 9001 to a proper one. Item numbers can be found through the administrative area. For example item 9001 will be listed as 1 and item number 90010 will be listed as 10. Simply add 900 prefix before the number
Example 1:
<![CDATA[
<form method=POST action=http://www.XXXXXXX.com/cgi-bin/ppcal.cgi>
<input type=hidden name="##ITEM" value=9001>
<input type=text name=item_quantity value=1 size=6>
<input type=image src=http://www.shoppingcart.org/pptocart.gif name=submit
border=0 alt=Go>
</form>
]]>
Example 2:

<form method=POST action=http://www. XXXXXXX.com/cgi-bin/ppcal.cgi>
<input type=hidden name="##ITEM" value=9001>
<input type=hidden name=item_quantity value=1>
<input type=image src=http://www.paypalshoppingcart.org/pptocart.gif name=submit
