Hi Eric....no I am not using Designer. Just winging it with SCC and copying all my products over from my original store The Blacklight Shop http://blacklightshop.com I would like to get them all over first and get my categories going but can see where I might only have a couple or so. And after I get all that done start tweaking it. My next question then would be on my original home page where I have my detail page and buy now buttons link to my payment processors. I see when I click on a product the url ishop/viewitem.php?groupid=0&productid=0, for one and then the next is =1, etc Then I should locate that path and then link it to my buy now button on my original site. Is that making sense to you.

Thanks

That is correct. All of your categories will go up one as you progress downward. ex:

=1
=2
etc.

Yes, you can just link your buttons to those products. However, you do know that the cart already has a paypal processor built in.

Eric...yes I thought that was the way having just doing a mouseover for a friend's website I finished. My question though is where do I find the path for each of those id's. Also we are presently using PayPal and Authorize.net as payment processors and intend to include those modules on SCC. I just want to put one Buy Now button on each detail page of my old website and have that button linked to =1, =2, etc. Won't that work?

What path do I follow to find the file of those id's to link to my website.

Bill, are you are asking how to find a product ID in the shopping cart in order to assign the product ID to the same product on the old site PayPal form?

If so, upload the cart and select a product and then look at the URL - it will display the product ID in the URL.

So I would just use that url for my link from my old site PayPal Buy Now. I was still curious though where that file is located in my directory/shop folder. Do you actually see the product id and the product item.

I don't think you are going to link the PayPal form on the old site to work with the shopping cart if that's what you are wanting to do. I was thinking you wanted to track products sold on both sites by using the same product ID that the cart produces.

To answer your question of where each product ID is stored, it's the ccdata/data/data.php file.

No...I'm sorry for not coming across with the question. I am going to eliminate the paypal button and just leave a Buy Now button in it's place and the have that Buy Now button linked back to my shopping cart product. example http://blacklightshop.com/shop/viewitem … roductid=0 That would be the link that I place in my Buy Now button on my old site.

Ohhhhhh.

Just upload the shopping cart and go to the product description page and copy the URL in the URL window to paste into a link in the old site page to replace the PayPal button.

Here is the code to link a button from your old site to the shopping cart product page

Thanks Tony....I'm putting this thing to bed and tomorrow purchase the SCC and go to work.on it.
