Somewhere along the line I am confused.
I have a website with :
home
about us
shop
contact details
etc.
In the shop you should see products with text, pictures and prices and with a buy now button they should go to the shopping cart. I don't know how to set it up like that. It seems that the shopping cart here is something completely different.

I have read that about 5 times. Does however not answer my question.
As usual, to make it easier to follow the explanations in this T&T, you can download the updated project file from here: http://bit.ly/I6ABZn
Once you've imported the .iwzip file, you can look through all the various parts of the project, including the shopping cart, that we've talked about so far.

I will do that again just now.
What I am missing in website x5 is a procedure page. Like a recipe for making a shop or making a website. With references at every step. That would make things much easier.

what I try is this:
Home page
Contacts
Shop, mouse over gives you - Shoes click on this gives page with pictures of all the
- Bags shoes, with link at each shoe to a
- Shirts product page with all the details
of that shoe
For this I cannot get my sitemap organised in the right way. I also do not know where to put the product page that they do not show when I mouse over or click on Shoes.

Let me put it again:
Home page
Contacts
Shop, mouse over gives you - Shoes
Bags
Shirts
click on Shoes gives page with pictures of all the shoes, with
link at each shoe to a product page with all the details of
that shoe. I can do that, but I do not know where to put the
product pages, they should be hidden, that is they should not be
visible on any menu on the website. At the same time I do not
know where the shop or as you, in my opinion wrongly, call it
shopping cart, comes in.

Thanks, but it did not help me. Firstly, where is a "Buy now" button which I can copy into my website? Secondly, how is the shopping cart linked to the website and why do you have to repeat descriptions and pictures in the shopping cart, when they are already in linked pages (hidden) in the Sitemap?

sorry, I did learn hiding the pages

OK, I wrote "Buy now" in a page and linked it to the corresponding page in the Shopping Cart. That worked. I have not seen this procedure anywhere in the tutorials. Maybe it is too logic to mention.
Another problem in my shopping cart and in the example "tee_x5_store_6". When I get to the "description, payment, shipping" screen and click "next" there is no text with the customer detail screen, just the white blocks where the customer is supposed to fill in their details.
