What do I need to do to let users view the shopping cart from any page? I am using remote HTML to post everything to the shopping cart.

I think mentioned using SSI to view items from outside the cart,

That link will take you to the cart in ccp, but to view the cart outside of ccp it would have to be done either using frames or ssi on a "static" html page.

You're very welcome daniel. Eagle Wolf - I think we were thinking about two different things. I'm interested to know about the ssi call in a static page though! That would be great for a "mini-cart".
I use iframes extensively for product displays in static pages. Very tricky stuff, but it's working great. ClickCart Pro is very flexible.

I just tried that, and it didn't work.
I got Your Shopping Cart is currently empty.
I need to access the cart from outside of the store.

From a static page, this is how you'd link to your cart:
<a href="http://www.your domain.com/ccp51/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?rrc=N&pg=cart">View Cart</a>
If that doesn't work, check your cookie domain and cookie path settings in Manage Program Settings, delete your site's cookie from your browser, and start over.
If you continue to have problems, please post a link to your site.

Thanks Dave, That worked!
In addition to the Cart, is there a way to link to the other pages. I was hoping to have a common pulldown menu on the top nav for the different cart areas..
For example, is there a way to link to the Checkout from anywhere?
Thanks

If you're using secure checkout I don't think you can link directly to checkout from a remote page because cookies don't work with SSL in CCP. You'll probably find that it empties your cart (well, not really, it just can't match it up) because CCP assigns a new cookie. It's only one more click from the cart to checkout, so not a major deal IMO.
You can link to most other pages by a similar link to the view cart example, just change the pg value to the appropriate page name as per the CCP site urls.
HTH,

We're not using SSL on the site, we're using a secure gateway.
I tried some URL's like ste_checkout and checkout, but they didn't work.. They just brought me to a blank page
Can you give me a page I can use?
Thanks
