Title: Embedding into existing website
Post by: ernest02 on June 20, 2018, 02:29:51 PM

I just installed AbantCart on my host server and was hoping to use my existing website to just insert "Add to Cart" buttons to my existing products that will take my customers to the shopping cart for payment, etc. But except for embedding a whole product page and some links I cannot really find info of how to go about it. I would greatly appreciate some guidance here!

Check embed demo http://www.abantecart.com/embed_demo/index.html
and check docs https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/5799960/Embed+Products+to+HTML

When you embed you can hide image

Thank you for that response. Unfortunately, you are dealing here with somebody who has limited HTML and CSS knowledge and experience and who has never integrated a shopping cart into a website. I am still in the dark how everything works together. I did ask for paid support but no one has contacted me after 3 days.  I looked at the code in the demo but I still need some information.

Please just clear up for me the following about this snippet of code:
(Sorry I was not allowed to post the code because it has an external link to abantecart.com/index/.....)
1. Is the data-href line (first line) of code the same for all users except of course the content_id? Or should the "demo.abantecart.com........." be changed?
2. Where should the href="#" point to?
3. Can one instead of "your link title" have an "Add to Cart" image?
4. What other changes must be made to this snippet of code so that it will work on my website?

Thank you for your patience!

If you read docs just try. You dont need to be a coder to use it.
Open your AbanteCart admin. Find product you want to embed and click button to generate code.

That's All. You should not care what inside code unless you want to change something specific

Insert this code in your html page.

 ;) check the video in doc

Try to re-send your mail again. If no answer in 1 day these mean paid support do not receive your mail at all.
