X-Cart 5.0.12: Robokassa Integration added; Canada Post updated
 

Hi everyone and Happy Saint Patrick's Day to those who celebrate!

I'm here to inform that 5.0.12 has become available. This version is aimed at "polishing" our new-generation platform: implementing minor design improvements, enhancements to existing features, bug fixes.

The only new module is Robokassa, it's a payment module for the countries of CIS and Russia. Also, an existing module - Canada Post - has been rewritten and packed with the entire set of features.

XC5 is running jQuery 1.5.2 - Really?

It is 3 years old release...

Hi Steve.

We had to use it because of necessity to support Drupal Connector, as Drupal could not work with latest jQuery version.

Starting from X-Car 5.1.0, jQuery v1.11.0 will be in use.

I knew it Drupal was a mistake since the beginning :)
XC is is not some 3rd party software to try and fit into Dripal...

Re: X-Cart 5.0.12: Robokassa Integration added; Canada Post updated
 

Lol, I like it! Lets call it Dripal from now on. Sounds like something you need to wipe off your nose... :-) Sorry, couldn't help myself.

XC5 absolutely needs to use a more modern jQuery version.

Damn autocorrect ;) Ya lets do that

I have 5.0.12 installed.

I want to integrate Canada Post as one of my shippers.
I have a Canada Post account already.

The Canada Post wizard requires me to authorize X-Cart to use my credit card for Canada Post... WHY?

I did not need to do this for other carts???

Hi Peter,

You're right stating that it's Canada Post wizard, which requires the card. Actually, the X-Cart integration does not somehow define the behavior of the wizard - it's predefined on Canada Post side.

Previously, X-Cart 5 had a very basic integration with Canada Post, all it could do is to return rates.Maybe the other shopping carts you're referring to have this simple integration too. But the current X-Cart 5 integration is much more powerful and packed with features. Probably that's the reason why they request more details from the merchant to provide.

And while I'm writing kinda guessing here, I have already resent your question to our Canada Post point of contact, let's expect an official reply from them.

Hi again,

This is what I have just received from Canada Post team:

"When a merchant register to Canada Post they can be an existing customer or a new customer of Canada Post. If they are a new customer they do not have billing privilege therefore during the registration “wizard” they will only have CreditCard for the method of payment."

If you wish to get better explanation, I could PM the contact information of Fabien from Canada Post. Just let me know.
