Ability to run a Prestashop cart block off of an External Site you Control

[aftermarket]

I would like to use Prestashop as a shopping cart for my other PHP ecommerce websites. To do this, all I need is the ability to add a cart block onto my external sites. Can that be done?

For example:
I want site A which is a strictly HTML and PHP website to list my products and site B to process the payments using prestashop.

To do this effectively, I would like site A to be able to list how many items a customer has added to their cart or deleted from their cart already. (Just like the cart block that prestashop has, which is basically the only part of prestashop I need to run on Site A)

Anybody done this yet? If you think you can, please post here or pm me. I am willing to compensate others for their time.

Can anybody comment on this? Do you think this is something that will need extensive custom programming?

Hi,

You can use the new feature "Web-service" available in PrestaShop v1.4 to do that.

First of all you'll have to go your PrestaShop admin panel in the Web-service tab (Located in "Tools" I think).

Then, create a user for the site A and give it access to your categories/products.

Lastly, develop a piece of PHP code on the site A to access to the Web-service.
We will provide several examples & how-to as soon as possible.

Regards,

Thank you for the response Bruno. I am still on 1.3. Do you have an ETA for a "stable" 1.4 version and when these examples would be available? Thank you again for the help.
