How to integrate Magento Store and display products into wordpress theme/ website? - wordpress

I am a newbie to eCommerce, and in process of developing a website for my upcoming eCommerce store from scratch.
I have been working with WordPress "Albar " theme. After researching I found Magento to go ahead with my store.
I have installed Magento through Hostgator ( Hosting service), I am somewhat familiar with adding products , but not able to get a solution to display the products to my website , ie; on WordPress theme.
How to link the store to website ? I have come across WordPress Integration plugins , but still couldn't find a solution.
By default there are some pages appearing in the Magento > CMS > Pages and in preview it opens with the link after my domain name.
Kindly help me out with this problem.
Regards ,
JD

You have to write extension for Magento that adds new controller which return json with products. In Wordpress create ajax request that reads this json and displays products.

Migrating to Wordpress from Zen Cart

Im currently managing https://www.clippertea.com.sg/
The site is currently managed by a developer on Zen Cart and hosted on Rackspace.
Due to slow response and generally incompetency and high cost, we decided to manage both the website and the webshop on our own.
There are 2 things we need to do:
1) Migrating https://www.clippertea.com.sg/ to another host and preserving the original design (as an information site)
2) After migration when visitor click on "Shop", it will direct it to the NEW wordpress woocommerce storefront. (as an online shop using woocommerce)
In short, under new host of goDaddy (previously Rackspace), we will have www.clippertea.com.sg with its current existing look and clicking on "Shop" will lead to the woocommerce plugin as our online shop.
Is it possible to do so? (Under WP, one main website for information and clicking on "Shop" category leads to our webshop using Woocommerce)
Do I need another developer to migrate all the content from old site to new site? Or can I do so myself easily.
you can create a "shop" folder where you can upload WordPress and install WooCommerce there.

Wordpress: Using it as a news CMS only?

I tried to search everywhere for an answer to my question but I still doesn't understand how Wordpress fully work.
I would like to use Wordpress as my news system CMS only. This means, I do not wish to set up my page layout via the Wordpress theme interface. If you guys know another news CMS called CuteNews, I want my Wordpress to operate pretty much like CuteNews.
How can I put Wordpress post entries into my website that uses my own layout (and not using the theme interface in Wordpress).
Thanks!

I have used this as a starting point for my detached wordpress site and it's working perfect.
You can actually! Without converting it to a theme. It works for me as I don't do wordpress themes but I use WP to power the back-end of my websites. I utilize WP's CMS feature.
here's a checklist of what you can possibly do to your website.
Your website design (html/css)
Install Wordpress on your server, or locally.
Download Blank WP Template, set this as your default template for your wordpress site.
Edit the Theme's CSS/Header/Footer according to your website design while keeping essential WP codes provided in the template.
Set your News Page as the Blog Entry in WP Dashboard.
If you want some news preview, such as titles to appear somewhere on your site like homepage, you can either call it thru PHP code available on the net or install a plugin in WP.
Items listed above maybe broad, but that's a starting point, as you can research on the net for detailed information on how to go about your website with wordpress CMS.
Best of Luck!

Does Wp-Ecommerce works with LinkPoint gateway?

I have an online store working with osCommerce, actually works fine. But there is no integration with the store blog which is in Wordpress fortunatelly.
Now I've seen a new payment plugin for wordpress called Wp-Ecommerce , so i decided to migrate the whole store to wordpress since this can be treated like a CMS.
This plugin has really handy features like Meta Tag properties for each product in order to do SEO position for the store.
I've been reading about wp-ecommerce and searching through the web to find a chance to integrate it with LinkPoint, which is my client's store gateway. I must say this is an imperative requirement I have to do in order to migrate the whole site to Wordpress
Has anybody make this possible ? get wordpress working with LinkPoint ?
Looks like it currently only supports Authorize.Net. You may want to check out Shopp. The Linkpoint plug-in is not free but it is available.
