Custom Shopping Cart without a Custom Template

What you can do is create a wrap of your home page HTML around the default shopping cart template. To do this you will need to go to your home page, right click and view source. Then find where the body of your text begins and copy everything from there back up to the beginning (including the opening table tags for the text field). Then go to into your ShopSite back office, Commerce Setup > Order System > Shopping Cart, and paste that HTML into the text box, Text at the Top of the Shopping Cart Screen. Then return to the source of your home page and find the bottom of the body of the page and copy and copy all the HTML from there to the bottom (including the close of the text cell table). Go back into ShopSite Commerce Setup > Order System > Shopping Cart, and paste that HTML into the text box, Text at the Bottom of the Shopping Cart Screen. You can then repeat this process for the Checkout Page, the Confirmation Page, and the Thank You page.

Note: Any images you use on the Checkout, Confirmation and the Thank You page need to be secure images. You can make these images secure by replacing the first part of the image URL (domain name), with the SSL URL listed in the back office in Preferences > Hosting Service.

For example:
