Embedding custom PHP scripts into Content or Pages

[Ericles]

Hello All,
I have a nice little shopping site up and running and I'm now looking to extend it beyond the basic shopping cart with some custom scripts embedded within the site. I know I cannot simply add PHP code to Content pages so I started wondering what the best way would be to actually accomplish this.

Can I create a new static page by duplicating/modifying an existing one like the "Contact" page? I imagine I would need a new copy of the .PHP and .TPL files but what else should I modify? Forgive my ignorance as I've been tinkering with PHP for a while but I'm just learning a properly organized MVC like Abantecart.

Thanks in advance!
