I am using YooTheme Peak (Joomla 3.x - current) with the zoo_catalog extension and need to know what integration is available using HikaShop and Zoo. ie... would I be recreating a new shop or can I use HikaShop to simply add the cart function then checkout to my existing product catalog?

I would like to run the shop as follows:
• Product Catalog (YooTheme zoo_catalog app)
• Cart function with each item in catalog
• Cart updated at top of page in toolbar position
• Checkout function (but not for direct payment on checkout) ... I need to check current real inventory for size and color as I will not be able to keep inline inventory up to date...
• once inventory/availability is confirmed an invoice would be sent to customer with (I'm hoping) choice of payment through:
- Paypal
- Square Register invoice
- customer sent cheque
- customer phoned in Visa/MC details
• Once the invoice has been paid I would then like to confirm this in HikaShop and have it automatically reduce my online inventory
• I would assume a manual inventory reduction would also be possible as we also run a store front operation
The most important feature initially is the zoo_catalog integration at this point. I don't want to have to recreate this in HikaShop if at all possible

Been browsing through the backend demo... and came across this button... Add to cart HTML Link with the following code...

<a class="hikashop_html_add_to_cart_link" href=" demo.hikashop.com/index.php?option=com_h...ckout=1&product_id=4 ">Add to cart</a>


Can I add that as an item in my zoo-catalog app and then just populate as necessary with each instance of the HTML code from each item in the HikaShop... or would this still mean populating the HikaShop products with the identical items?

Hi,

There is no integration between HikaShop and Zoo.
So you have two possibilities to add "add to cart" capability to your zoo items with HikaShop:
1. As you said, you can copy/paste the add to cart HTML of your products in your zoo items.
2. You can also use the HikaShop content tag system to do the same but a bit nicer:
www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...-product-insert.html

Both solutions will require that you create one product in HikaShop for each item in Zoo so that you know what people are purchasing. Because if you were using the same product for all your Zoo items, you would see always the same product in the cart/checkout/order.
