Topic: Add to cart from external site

Hi,

I'd like the ability to create a link/button on an external site that will add a product to the cart. I receive an error message from PC when I try this.

Here's the link I tried http://66.232.122.250/sgi/pc/instPrd.asp?idproduct=14&add=1 - http://66.232.122.250/sgi/pc/instPrd.asp?idproduct=14&ad d=1

If you click this you'll receive an error saying that the item doesn't exist. If you then click it again, the product will be added to your cart. This leads me to believe that it's a session issue. Anyone know a way around this?

Thanks!

-Quinn

I am having the same problem adding an item from a page on the same server as the cart.The form I use to add the item is the same as provided in the PC documentation. First you get a "product id not found" error, then when you try the second time it works, and the item is added to the cart. Anybody have a solution?

Hey,

I solved this by building a "capture" page. The problem is that a session isn't started when trying to add the product. I only have this working with a link, not a form. Here's my code. Some items may not be required.
