WordPress and ZenCart

  • I’m working on a new website for my employer. We’re going to use WordPress to maintain the information side of the site, and we’ll be selling our products via ZenCart.

    I would like to pull items from ZenCart and insert them into certain parts of the WordPress site (featured items, special buys, etc).

    What is the best way to approach this? Are there plugins that will call other scripts?

    I know, ZenCart is sloppy, but unfortunately it’s the best thing I could find (for free).

    Thanks in advance,

    Keith

    Bumping…

    Zen Cart has built-in functions that will display the following: New Products, Products on Sale, Latest Product Reviews from Customers, Product Categories, Featured Products, New Products, a Best Seller list and a Search function. I would like to be able to insert these parts into the WordPress template. Essentially, we’d display these parts instead of some WordPress links: category, archives, search, etc.

    I’m looking for any of the following:

    1) Tips… I’m not a PHP/MySQL guy, but I might be able to poke around if I’m told what to look for, or what to read up on.

    2) A current plugin that can do this, perhaps if tweaked a little bit.

    3) A Custom Plugin… I might be able to pay somebody for this plugin.

    Thanks for reading…

    I am interested too. If you find a solution I whould like to know. Thank you.

    I’ve written custom plugins that can do similar things for my CG-Amazon plugin. The new (unreleased) version allows a site to have a ‘/shop’ page that CG-Amazon manages via a custom page template. That’s the easiest way to do it within the WP framework.

    In addition, you could easily add some of those features as link-lists in the sidebar that point to the right page and URL structure for a specific product.

    I can envision something similar to my CG-Amazon system working for any of the cart systems, using a combination of a plugin and a custom page template to interface with the ‘shop’ where desired. And some custom plugin/helper code so that you could embed product links into blog posts (which CG-Amazon was built for originally…), or on the main blog sidebar.

    Does [WordPress On ZenCart] know (I release it in my website)? https://zencart-module.s-page.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5
    (Because ZenCart is Maine, this thinks that I am different from hope.)

    1.
    install WP in a top directory. I install ZenCart in a subdirectory.
    2.
    revise a template of ZenCart and hide a header, a footer.
    3.
    stick link ahead of a ZenCart [buy now button] on WP. (When there is an option, it is difficult)

    I think that a cart function of ZenCart can use WP by the above-mentioned method in Maine.

    Hira, your plugin sounds great, but does really work without problems? I mean is it perfectly stable?
    Thanks
