X-Cart:CreSecure Hosted Payment Page

Overview

CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module is an advanced integration of the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page service for an X-Cart driven store.

Here is how it works.

System requirements

X-Cart 4.3.2or above

To be able to successfully install and use the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module, you must have a working copy of X-Cart Gold or X-Cart Pro installed on your server. Make sure that the version of the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module matches the version of your copy of X-Cart.

If your X-Cart version is earlier than required, the module can be adapted to work with it for an additional fee.

Note: If you do not remember the version of your copy of X-Cart, you can find it in the Summary/Environment info section of the X-Cart Admin area (select Administration -> Summary) on the menu.

Installation and removal

These instructions are valid for both X-Cart Gold and X-Cart Pro.

To install the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module:

1. Obtain a distribution package for the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module by downloading it from the File Area section of your X-Cart Account. The distribution package is archived in the file cre_secure_hpp-x.y.z.tgz, where x, y and z indicate the version of the module. Make sure the version of the module matches the version of your copy of X-Cart.

2. Copy the distribution package to the X-Cart root directory on your server or hosting account.

• If you use a Windows-based server or a UNIX-based server without terminal access:

a) Extract the contents of the archive with the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module files to a directory on your system using your favorite compression program (WinZIP or any other archiver that supports TAR files).

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

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

a) Use an FTP client to upload the archive with the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module distribution package to the X-Cart root directory on your server or hosting account.

b) Decompress the package by typing the following command:

tar -xzvf cre_secure_hpp-x.y.z.tgz

Important: Make sure that you maintain the directory structure while unpacking and uploading the distribution package; otherwise, some critical files can be overwritten!

3. In a web browser, run the installation script at httр://www.example.com/install-cresecure.php, replacing the variable www.example.com with the real domain name, where your X-Cart is installed.

4. Enter the Auth code, accept the License Agreement and click the Next button.

Note: The Auth code is a random code that was generated after you installed your copy of X-Cart. If you do not remember the Auth code, find it in the Summary section of the X-Cart Admin area (select Tools->Summary on the administration menu), right over the License info subsection. Another way to find out the code is to retrieve the value of the $installation_auth_code variable from the file <xcart_dir>include/install.php .

5. The installation script copies the files and activates the module. Click the Next button to continue.

6. The installation script generates a new system fingerprint. Click the Next button to complete the installation.

7. Use the ADMINISTRATOR AREA link to log in to the Admin area.

To uninstall the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module:

1. In a web browser, run the installation script at http://www.example.com/install-cresecure.php, replacing the "www.example.com" with the real domain name, where your X-Cart is installed.

2. Choose the Uninstall the module option, enter the Auth code, accept the License Agreement and click the Next button.

Note: The Auth code is a random code that was generated after you installed your copy of X-Cart. If you do not remember the Auth code, find it in the Summary section of the X-Cart Admin area (select Tools->Summary on the administration menu), right over the License info subsection. Another way to find out the code is to retrieve the value of the $installation_auth_code variable from the file <xcart_dir>include/install.php .

3. Once the installation script has removed the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module files and deactivated the module, click the Next button to complete the uninstallation.

4. On the Uninstallation complete screen, click Next to leave the Wizard.

Important: After you have uninstalled the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module, make sure to remove the module's distribution package from your web directory as well.
