How easy is it to set up zen cart? How much time are we looking at?
Lydia asked:
I know html, some javascript, and a little php. I have an existing website that I want to put zen cart into. I dont even know where to start or how hard this will be. Someone advise?

Download the Zen Book they have available on the Zen Cart website, and bookmark the tutorials and FAQ pages on said site. It’s REALLY easy to set up but to CUSTOMIZE it to your liking, you need to CSS like crazy. Setting up the Paypal API and Shipping modules are a bit time consuming, only because they require so much information to set up, but they are easy to setup. In short, it’s easy to setup, but time-consuming to master. I did it for a school project and basically took me 4 weeks to get it up and running, but I was only devoting about ten hours or so a week. Full time devotion? I’d say 3 to 5 days. Register for their forums and stay persistent!
