Hi,
I already have products in place and I would like to avoid using the catalogue options. Is this possible via JavaScript or something similar? I'm primarily after the cart functionality and not the displaying catalogue options.

Thanks
Harry

Hi Harry,

We have several querystring variables available to add items directly to the Cart. Please see the KB article at the following link for more info: http://helpdesk.smith-consulting.com/...

We also have the following options:
SmithCart SDK - http://helpdesk.smith-consulting.com/...
Rest API Endpoints - http://helpdesk.smith-consulting.com/...

Hope this helps!

So how do I avoid using the catalogue page and display products how and when I want to?

I'm guessing I still have to enter the actual products so that the cart knows what they are but I could simply use the querystring options on a click button of any image/text and then it would recognise it as that product and add it to the cart?

Also how many "Custom Field" am I restricted to in the querystring?

Thanks for the links.

So I have been trying the advice in the posted links. I have to say it was all a bit confusing.

Hopefully this helps somebody else when on your help page:

http://helpdesk.smith-consulting.com/...

Under the "Add to Cart - Product" section..

2.  Navigate to the cart page to get the URL to the cart page.
There is no actual cart page because you are only asked to set up 2 pages initially? Anyway I'm guessing it's the page that shows when I click on add to cart from the Products page I created earlier. So it becomes this (www.mysite.com/Shop-Manager/ctl/Cart/mid/4711). There are many ways to navigate if you are an admin of a website so I understood this as navigating via the page management system as most users reading this will be doing?

3.  Add product id to the url as show below:
Single Product:  http://www.mydomain.com/Cart/Default.aspx?productid=1
Multiple Products:  http://www.mydomain.com/Cart/Default.aspx?productid=1,2,3

So looking at my previous URL this then becomes:
www.mysite.com/Shop-Manager/ctl/Cart/mid/4711?productid=1
or
www.mysite.com/Shop-Manager/ctl/Cart/mid/4711?productid=1,2,3

Anyway I hope this helps somebody.

Thanks Harry, I'll update the KB article to be more clear with explaining how to get the URL to the Cart page.
