Can BV5 act as a shopping cart for another webapp?

Hello, We are developing a php-based CMS. We were thinking about using BV5 as the shopping portal but we want the logins of the CMS and shopping cart to be shared so the customer doesn't have to login twice. Can BV5 provide this capability?
Thanks!

If you have a windows web server with IIS you can use BV Commerce as a sub web site to handle the shopping cart portion of your site regardless of what app you use for the main part.

What you are asking is similar to single signon. BV5 cannot handle that. The only way for you to share the same user base in your php web app is by going to the bvc_User table and directly validating the user credentials. Look in the BV5 code base to figure out how BV does user credentials validation. Also, when you sign in the user on your php web app, you might want to somehow sign in the user behind the scenes on the BV5 shopping cart as well. That can be done by silently transferring the user to an interim page with no html rendering, sign in the user with same credentials (this will be a new page on BV5 whose sole purpose is to sign the user in) and then redirect the user back to the php page. Thats your best bet.
