Overview

Pay with Amazon

System requirements and installation

To be able to successfully install and use the Pay with Amazon module, you need a working copy of X-Cart version 4.6.2 installed on your server.

Note: If you do not remember the version of X-Cart on which your store is based, you can look it up in the Environment info section of the Summary page in X-Cart Admin area.

To install Pay with Amazon module:

1. Download the Pay with Amazon module archive from the File Area section of your X-Cart Account. Look for a file named like x-pay-with-amazon-x.y.z.tgz, where x, y and z are numbers matching the version of your installed copy of X-Cart.
2. Copy the contents of the module achive to the X-Cart root directory on your server or hosting account.
   • If you are using a Windows-based server, or a UNIX-based server without terminal access:

   a) Unpack the module archive to a directory on your system using your favorite compression program (WinZIP, 7-Zip or any other archiver with support for TAR files).

   b) Use an FTP client to upload all the files contained in this directory (retaining the directory structure) to the X-Cart root directory on your server or your hosting account.

   • If you are using a UNIX-based server with terminal access:

   a) Use an FTP client to upload the module archive to the X-Cart root directory on your server or your hosting account.

   b) Unpack the archive using the following command:

   tar -xzvf x-pay-with-amazon-x.y.z.tgz

   (Replace x, y and z with the actual version numbers).

   Important: Make sure you keep the directory structure while unpacking and uploading the module archive, otherwise some necessary files may be overwritten!
