Post Can AgoraCart Pass or import data from another website? 
I have a website that has a customized cart that is quite complex. The weakness is final payment options, we have just a few, and the cart is approx 10 years old and adding on is getting a little scary. I would like to pass the payment portion of that site to a shopping cart such as AgoraCart to take advantage of all of the payment/shipping options. Can I pass/import or whatever you would call it my data, (would basically be the product/total price) and use AgoraCart to collect the rest and check out. I did search the forums and did not see anything like this covered. Thanks

I am sorry, but it probably is not something Agora could do.
Being that your shopping cart is 10 years old, it is probably not very secure and may even have security holes in it.
You may need to look at getting a new shopping cart system.
What is it about your current cart that is "quite complex"?
It may not be as difficult to convert to a new shopping cart as you may think...
What is the URL to your site?

After reviewing your site it is possible...
The cart can be used with static pages on a site, outside of the script....
However, your javascript will need to be triggered using element id instead of the element name.
Agora would need the element name for it to import the order item's info to the cart.

It's not really "importing"... It is using a static page to add an item to the cart... or utilizing "Buy Now / Add to Cart Buttons"....

It is basically building your product page outside of the cart; the item and its options get added to the shopping basket/cart when the "add to cart" button is clicked...

You can start reading how to achieve this at:

Here's a place to start for dealing with product options (color, size, personalization, etc...):
