Prerequisites

  • X-Cart 5.3 – The plugin is written to work with earlier versions in the X-Cart 5 line, but has not been tested with versions earlier than 5.3.
  • SSL installed on your site and active on Checkout pages.  This ensures PCI compliance.
  • cURL for PHP installed on your site.  Most hosting providers already include this in your setup.
