I'm in the planning stage of a new website. I am creating a site and want to know if anyone understands how to place a shopping cart on the pages of the website. I know how to create a shop button and connect to my shopping cart, but how do I show the cart and contents on the pages of my website? Coffeecup has an example of what I am talking about at the top of the page.

Thanks for any advice :)

Everything is done within SCCP. You don't have to add anything to your existing webpages. Create your shop and add all the products then hit the publish button.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

So SCCP will add a shopping cart icon to my website pages that will show items in it? That will be on my pages and separate from the shopping cart?

No, I guess it wasn't really clear what you were looking for. Place product images on your pages then link them to the proper product pages in your shop.

If you want to link to items in your shopping cart to put the links on external web pages for pages outside of the cart. Open the item in the cart you want to link to, then just copy the link in the Browser URL bar (where you type web addresses that start with http://...) and use that link in the pages for the link code. Then use the same images or any other image to represent that item and you're off and running. :)

Thanks for all the replies. Great ideas, but I'm really looking for just the shopping cart items at the top of the page. If you look at the top of the CC page, there is a shopping cart icon and if you click on it, you will see the number of items in your cart. Other businesses, like Teavana.com, Target.com, and others show a shopping cart with the number of items in the cart at the top of each page as well.
