Accept orders from external websites!

Shop-Script allows you to accept orders not only from your online storefront, but also from external websites on the web (even blogs and forums). This can be done using Shop-Script's shopping cart widgets which can be embedded into any website that allows posting HTML code. Embedding is easy — just copy & paste widget's HTML.

WebAsyst's "Shopping cart" widget is a snippet of HTML and JavaScript code which displays "Add to cart" button on the website or blog where you embed the widget. Widgets implement connection between external website and your WebAsyst Shop-Script based online store. Visitors of the website where your widgets are embedded can place orders directly in this website context. All orders are saved in your Shop-Script based store.

Widgets is a great tool for you if:

If you have a popular website or blog and you want to sell something in it,
If you have a website dedicated to one or several products which you would like to sell, but don't want to open a dedicated storefront for this,
If you want to sell on various websites over the Internet (blogs, forums, community websites, etc.) — you can use WebAsyst widgets on any website that allow embedding HTML code.

WebAsyst Shop-Script actually offers a simple and elegant way to integrate billing system to any custom website.

Here is how: create your WebAsyst Shop-Script hosted account, add a product in "Store" application and grab widget HTML-code for this product. Embed this code to your website. All new orders placed using this widget will be reflected in your WebAsyst account—in your billing system. The most interesting thing is that you don't need to write a line of code to do this—just embed shopping cart widgets to your site, and it will start to work automatically.

← click here to see how widget works on this regular static HTML page (product will be added to the shopping cart, and you will be able to start placing order right away)

This "Add to cart" button was added on this page by embedding this code:

You can get shopping cart widget code for every product of your online store.

Orders placed through widgets are saved into your WebAsyst Shop-Script database just like regular orders from storefront.

Widgets can be integrated on any website. Take a look at these examples:

Sell stuff from Blogger
Sell stuff on your MySpace page
(MySpace restricts adding JavaScript code that is why clicking "Add to cart" brings new window)
Sell online directly from your LiveJournal account

Widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate HTML-based web page by an end user without requiring additional compilation.

Visitor counters and YouTube video embedding are good examples of widgets.

WebAsyst Shop-Script widgets work exactly the same way. You embed shopping cart widget to some website, and it implements shopping cart functionality on this website.
