I've designed an webpage but would like to add a shopping cart and/or store that is a little more user friendly than just the paypal buttons.

Is there anyway to do this. I know I can add a link to an external shopping cart but I don't want to have my customers to have to exit the website. I'd like it to be on one site. Is this possible?

I'm afraid that's not a possibility unless you have knowledge of adding and securing one inside iframes (not suggested). The shops made with the shopping cart creators are stand alone sites for the most part so they can't really be "inserted" persay, only added to by using the links as you already are aware of. Sorry Angela, maybe someday there will be a way to do this, but it's not at this time.

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I guess I could just add it by html.

yeah that's what I did. You should be able to do the same thing with VSD though if you already have a site up just get the Designer Pro (better by far than the basic) and work the miracles it's capable of for matching your site. You'd be surprised what it can do. Takes a bit of time, but once you get the hang of it it's a lot of fun and can really do some great stuff for your shop.

You can setup links in the SCC programs to your home page of your VSD site which is done in the settings (I'm assuming you're aware of where it's done, but just in case that's where it is hehe).

Good luck whichever way you decide to go :)

It's easy to create a store that matches your site with the CC Shopping cart and designer software. Then put a link to it in your site menu and a link on the cart back to your site :)
