E-Store Functions - Integrate with Site Mode

To integrate your product catalog into your existing site you first must make sure that your store is set to "Integrate with Existing Site" mode. To check this setting, just click on "Store Manager", then click on your store name. When the form comes up, you will see a section called "Integration Options". Under this section, you will see a drop down box which will allow you to choose, the "Integrate with Existing site" mode. Once this mode is set, then you can go to the product catalog and add your product to the database. After you add your product, you wil then be presented with the code similar to the example code below that you will need to add to your site in order to integrate your products into the site.
Note: The code below is simply example code. Do not use this code in your site. Only Use the code that is generated in your admin area when you go to add a product. The code below is similar, however the store number for your code will correspond to your estore, which is different than the number shown below.

**Also note that when cutting and pasting any code that is generated as shown below DO NOT use a web editing program such as Macromedia DreamWeaver or Microsoft FrontPage when pasting your code. You should use a regular text editing program.

If you want to have options with your product link color, size and other options, then start with the code that is similar to the code below:

If you have questions associated with your products, you then simply need to add your code for the product questions as shown in the example below. So if you want to have options such as product link color, size and other options then start with the code that is similar to the code below:
