   Is is possible to add to the PC shopping cart from an external website, other than the store home page. My client wants a setup with another company website, so when they buy something (from external websoite) instead of sending the orders through the e-mail they go right into the cart on the store home url (not external website).

example:
So, the store home url is www.MyPCStore.com and a company www.MyCompany.com could have someone order something that gets tossed into the cart on www.MyPCStore.com. Like an affiliate site.

I know there is the license issue, but maybe the best way is to have a link on the external site the PC store. The user would navigate away from www.MyCompany.com to the www.MyPCStore.com. Links would need to be setup on the www.MyPCStore.com.

Is anyone doing something like this? I want to do it the best wasy possible, so if you can shoot me some ideas...

Thanks
SDI

	Hi, If I understand what you mean then yes, it is supported. It's called the E-Commerce Widget and here's the WIKI page about it : http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/widgets/productcart_ecommerce_widget

	Well, found out this is different than just 1 widget for a number of products. Apparently they will have multiple customers with a different set of products, exclusive for that customer listed to reorder. So, say customer A has tv, camera and customer B has paper, pencil, marker then they have 2 different widgets. So, if they have 1000 customer records they would have 1000 widgets, because the products could all be different. Thanks SDI
