# Plugin usage question

 * I’ve inherited a wordpress site that has a custom coded shopping cart (that only
   supports Paypal) that I’d like to replace with a plugin.
 * I really like this plugin because it looks like I can add products on the fly
   without having to maintain a catalog.
 * Unfortunately, the wordpress site has a sub-site that’s basically a hand-coded
   user dashboard (that works very well) and needs to be able to:
 * A. Add items (ad-hoc) to shopping cart
    B. Be able to retrieve (at least) number
   of items in cart (to display cart, I can always send them back to the parent (
   WordPress) site)
 * Is there some way to do this? Or would I have to hand code that sort of functionality
   myself?
 * Thanks for any assistance.

 * The sub-site is not a wordpress site, it has no plugins.

 * If the sub-site it not a WordPress site, then this is not going to work with 
   our plugin unfortunately.
 * Kind regards
