Can the Mini Cart be used with OrderAnywhere?

I have set up the Java code in our non-Shopsite store - our Shopsite
shopping cart is hosted off-site. The cart and item counter display, but
the count is always zero.
Have checked store ID, license code, & checked min-cart activation, all OK.

Is this just designed to work on the hosting server?

From the help page for the screen where you turn on the Mini-Cart option:
http://www.shopsite.com/help/7.0/en-US/ ... ayout.html
"Note: The mini cart will not work if customers have cookies turned off,
or if your store pages and shopping cart are in different domains. In
other words, if your store pages are at www.mydomain.com and the
shopping cart is at shop.myhostingprovider.com, the mini cart will not
show the items and subtotal in the cart."

This is a security feature of cookies, they can only be read from the
domain that set them. In this case, the shopping cart is setting them,
the JavaScript code on your store pages is trying to read them. If they
are at different domains, this feature won't work.
