X-Cart forums

Is there some mod out there which can do the following:

Imagine you have site A en the X-Cart shop is on site B;
goal is to sell products on site A without leaving site A; so basically the complete add to cart and checkout steps will have to be loaded from site B (where the X-Cart shop is) into a main content section of site A.

The products on site A do not have to be loaded from site B, they will only have the 'add to cart' link for that specific product; after clicking it, the cart and checkout procedure will be loaded from site B.

Does this make sense?

i think that is pissible.
You need to modify skin to remove header, footer, menus and add "add to cart" links or buttons. After that you can load x-cart into frame or iframe at site A.

Thnaks for the suggestion, you really think that's the only way? Nobody run into a solution (read mod) that could do something like that?

There is also a way simply insert add to cart link into product description or modify templates.

Then customer would go between two sites after adding product to cart.

That's exactly what I am trying to avoid

Then maybe using x-cart shopping cart, and whe customer press checkout, go to site B with whole cart transfered via GET or POST request?

If so, you need to place a form with hidden fields at the cart page, and fill it with product ids, amount and options if any. And whe customer press checkout button, it just submits the form.

Sounds plausibel but rather difficult, I was kind of hoping there was another (easier way)

[Piotr M.]

It's not difficult, I think.

<form action="http://site-b.com/checkout.php" method="POST">
{foreach from=$cart.products item=p}
<input type="hidden" name="products[{$p.productid}]" value="{$p.amount}" />
{/foreach}
<input type="submit" value="Checkout" />
</form>

And at site B you get $products = $_POST['products'];
$products array where ey is product id, and value is amount.

If you have options, it vould be a bit more complicated, but also possible.
