Implementing E-Junkie with Wix (Online Website Design)

Hi Guys im new on here and to e-commerce.
Im in the midst of making a website for my Fiance for her online clothing business using an online website creation tool called Wix (www.wix.com) so far Wix has been excellent and i have a professional looking flash website setup in next to no time. Problem is the e-commerce system seems to be missing some crucial features that basically is forcing me to look elsewhere for a shopping cart.

So my question is, because this is an online based website design there is no where to enter in the codes as specified by e-junkie. Although i have found a method that works for me but im not sure if im aloud to use the system in this way. So because i want to make this website as professional as i can and obviously legal on all levels i thought i would ask the question....

So here is the typical Code generated for me by E-junkie for a random product that i have entered

<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=w0001&cl=80887&ejc=2" target="ej_ejc" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" onClick="javascript:return EJEJC_lc(this);"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ej_add_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart"/></a>

If i was to take this section only....
https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=w0001&cl=80887&ejc=2 (which seems to be the link for the product)
and design my page on Wix to have the image of the product, and below the image a button (Add to Cart) which has the above link when clicked. It launches the shopping cart and add the product with no problems. And this same procedure works when adding multiple items in a similar manner. Then add the checkout button which still works after taking the link out like above.

So basically i suppose im asking is this aloud? if not is there a reason why its not aloud? is it security? is it because its not showing the E-junkie buttons....and if this is illegal is there a work around that can be used legally in my case?

If anything needs to be explained further for better understanding of my situation let me know and ill be happy to try explain in more detail.

Thanks Guys

If the Wix platform provides no way for you to edit the HTML of your own pages nor even any way to paste-in our ready-made HTML button codes, then you can take just the Add to Cart button URL (which you correctly deduced) and paste that into their button/link maker widget.

You should also make a View Cart button, so buyers would have a way to display their cart contents and proceed to checkout without having to "risk" adding an unwanted item to their order by clicking an Add to Cart button just to show the cart.

I'm in exactly the same position. I have an ebook I'm attempting to sell via my wix created site. I followed the above mentioned suggestions and pasted the "add to cart" code within the behaviors section for the "Buy Button" I created on thru wix. I saved this and then tested it. This would not work when I put the download price as 0.00 on ejunkie. It took me to the ejunkie sales page for the book or at least what I believe is somewhere in the sales process.

So I tried another method. I took the internal link for the ejunkie listing for my book and hyperlinked to this using $0.00 as the sale price. It took me to the a page asking for my name and email for my "free download." It then produced an error message when I attempted to process the order.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kevin

Make sure you're getting your E-junkie button code from Seller Admin > Get Buy Now/Cart Button Codes, select your product and click Get Button Codes. Your button code will look something like this:

<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=XXXXXX&cl=87270&ejc=2" target="ej_ejc" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" onClick="javascript:return EJEJC_lc(this);"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ej_add_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart"/></a>

If Wix will not allow you to paste all that HTML directly into your page, then you can take just the URL from the button code, which would be this part:

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=XXXXXX&cl=87270&ejc=2

...and paste that as the link URL (or whatever Wix calls it) for your Wix button behavior. If they allow you to specify a target window name, you can specify that as "ej_ejc", or just enable opening the link in a new window.

You will probably be unable to get our standard overlay-style cart behavior working "inside" your page if you cannot paste our complete, ready-made button codes directly into the raw HTML source of your pages somehow. In this case, the cart can still work as a popup window or as a full-window cart using the same window as your site.

Hello!
So far so good - but - messing around with DHTML popup (it's a link to a mini product page - not a random popup!) anyway - thing is - it's all beautiful - works like a charm - but - the target (ej_ejc) is opening in the same popup window which is too small :-)

Should I be trying to find some kind of resizing option in the javascript or is there a cool bit of html that will do the trick?
Thanks! :-)
Betty

@bettyboop: Are you using Wix to build your site, as this thread has been discussing, or something else?

If you're using Wix, and if that doesn't let you paste in our ready-made button code but does allow you to specify a link target in their link-maker widget, use target="ej_ejc" for your cart buttons, and make sure you are picking a different target name for your non-cart popup links. Basically, what the target attribute says is, "Open this link in the window/tab named 'ej_ejc', or if there isn't one open already, open a new window/tab and give it that name." Links that use the same target name will re-use that same popup window/tab; links with different target names will each use separate windows/tabs according to which target name they reference.

If you are using our standard cart button code, where the cart appears as an overlay "inside" your page instead of opening the cart in a separate window/tab, the cart can only appear inside the same page where the cart buttons are placed. We don't have any way to make a cart button close the popup where it's located and make the cart appear back on the main page instead. There may be custom javascript methods to accomplish that, for which we'd refer you to our developer directory if you'd need help setting that up:

Thank you Mr. E-junkieGuru
It's the latter - and you've explained it perfectly - so - I will head over to that developer directory and see what I can dig up there :-)
Thanks again!
Betty
