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!
  3. In a web browser, run the installation script httр://<YOUR_XCART_DOMAIN>/install-pay-with-amazon.php replacing <YOUR_XCART_DOMAIN> with the actual domain name of your X-Cart store. This will start the installation wizard. A screen like the following will be displayed:

  4. Carefully read the License agreement, enter the Auth code for your X-Cart installation into the Auth code field and select the "I accept the License Agreement" check box:

  5. Click Next to continue. The installation process will start. The installer will make the necessary changes to your X-Cart installation, and the module will be activated:

    Note: If you are using a custom skin, you will need to patch it manually. Otherwise, the module will not work in this skin.
  6. Once the process is completed, click Next. This will open the next screen where you will be asked whether you wish a new system fingerprint to be generated:
    PwA install3.png

  7. Make your selection (Yes/No) and click Next. If you have chosen to generate a new system fingerprint, it will be generated. The process of generating a system fingerprint may take up as long as a few minutes. Once the generation process is completed, click Next. If you have chosen to skip the generation of a system fingerprint, you will be taken to the next step.
  8. After clicking Next you should see the "Installation complete" screen:
    PwA install4.png

    This is the final step. It reminds you to remove the module archive file in case you put it in a web accessible directory (This is needed to protect the module from unauthorized copying). It also provides a link to the Admin area of your X-Cart installation. You can use this link to quickly access the Modules page where you can temporarily disable the newly installed module or adjust its configuration settings.
