If you are just going to the shop homepage, just create a link from your website to the cart folder and index.php. Like, "http://yoursite.com/shop/index.php".

If you want it integrated with one of your webpages.....use an inline frame and link as above to the Iframe.

The shop is located in the path that you entered under the "Your shop settings". You would then go www.mydomain.com/foldername/index.php

As Scott said, your shop is located on your site where you put it. If you use SCC's upload feature you have to enter the path under the Server tab. I use Filezilla, a separate ftp program instead, but either way you need to have the path.

The shopping cart homepage is index.php (unless you renamed it) and is located in the folder on your host that you specified (either in SCC or a separate ftp program).

So, using Scott's example path of
www.mydomain.com/foldername/index.php
, your link on your home page would be exactly that.

Your link needs to point to index.php of your cart and not any other index.php meaning that your cart should be in a different folder from your main website.

I am in the"your shop settings" how do I find the spot where I name the folder?, or is this done by default?

Oh, and thank you for the help!

Yes that works but how can I make a return to the website from shoppingcart after the payment or link to anywhere else?

I am not sure how this will work, but if you log in to PayPal and go to https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/websc … e-payments you can customize the "Return URL" From the documentation PayPal offers, it sounds like what you maybe looking for. I have never tried it myself, so let us know how it works for you ;)
