It has been working fine for years, but I'd like to have more options, so I am planning on yanking out my cart and replacing it with a different product. More precisely, I'd like to have new Cart and Checkout pages, but I'd like the pages that display the product to remain essentially unchanged. Here's one of my product pages: [ checkoutrealdeals.com/index.php?option=c...Itemid=153&BandID=15](http://checkoutrealdeals.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&Itemid=153&BandID=15) I have no idea how feasible this is, as it seems most shopping cart systems are meant to be used to create a site from the ground up. Any thoughts?

The only thing that can be a problem is your "show songs" button, I don"t really know its purpose ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)").

Then you will have to import your products, for that the best way is, I think, using the csv import method. Create a script to export you existing products into a well formatted csv file, here is the documentation about the import: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/73-hikashop-import.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/73-hikashop-import.html) And here the documentation to easily customize the display: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...ize-the-display.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/153-customize-the-display.html) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI1LWluc3RhbGwtdXBkYXRlLzg2MzI1Ny1pbnN0YWxsaW5nLWhpa2FzaG9wLW9uLXRvcC1vZi1hbi1leGlzdGluZy1zaXRlP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[ben1265](/forum/user/29056-ben1265 "View ben1265's Profile")** - [![ben1265's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/29056-ben1265 "View ben1265's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/29056-ben1265) Less More - Posts: 11 - Thank you received: 0 - - 12 years 11 months ago [\#130420](#130420) by [ben1265](/forum/user/29056-ben1265 "View ben1265's Profile") Replied by *[ben1265](/forum/user/29056-ben1265 "View ben1265's Profile")* on topic *[Installing HikaShop on top of an existing site](/forum/25-install-update/863257-installing-hikashop-on-top-of-an-existing-site#130420 "I have a general question about HikaShop: I have a web site that was using a custom shopping cart, which I built myself.

The show songs is a little bit complex, but that can be reinstated later, or in some different way.
