Noob needs help implementing Zen Cart
Permalink
Hello,
I have recently started a business and in order to save money I have built the website EEcigs.net myself using Concrete5. I was using PayPal as my merchant account and bought Ecommerce and the PayPal plug-in. It was going great til the other day when PayPal froze my account. Apparently they do not allow people to sell electronic cigarettes with them. So after much searching and losing many sales in the process I found a business that allows sales of e-cigs. I told them the website and how it was built and apparently the gateway they use won't work with concrete5's Ecommerce unless I use an over sea's account which I want to avoid at all costs. They told me if I could integrate Zen Cart with my website they would be able to help me. So please if anyone can lead me toward installing Zen Cart into my website I would be forever grateful. Thanks in advance for your help!

to my understanding Zencart and Concrete5 are two different plataforms. The integration would be more in the area of design.
You could install zencart in your server alongside C5 and edit the Zencart theme or template to match your existing site, then simply add the link to the store inside the auto/nav (through dashboard). Conversely you could insert zencart into an iFrame block in your Concrete5 block; although iFrames are always to be used sparingly.
Hope this helps
cheers
