The module (from what I understand) will be encrypted, so it can not be "hacked" to get it to work in any way other than how it is designed to work. I understand, and agree that this is probably the best way to go. I just hope there is some alternative for those of us that do not plan on using x-cart to complete that transaction, but only to get the authorization on the card and do the capture of the funds elsewhere.

From my understanding 4.3v is suppose to be ready next month and then a month or two later in Janurary then the PA-DSS payment module will be ready according to their road map and what they've said in this thread.

So my concern right now is since I have version 4.2.3 now, I wonder how the upgrade process works with xcart? Will xcart have an upgrade that will change the files and database easily, or will we have to manually change all sorts of files to get xcart PA-DSS payment module to work?
They say this, "4. The payment module will be implemented in such a way that allows its use with X-Cart 4.1.x and 4.2.x (with moderate customization of X-Cart source code)."
But what does that mean? Does that mean I first have to do manual customizations of the site code to upgrade to v4.3? Will they have an "updater" script that updates 4.2 to 4.3? Will this include the PA-DSS module? Or do we first get the payment module and have to hack around our sites to get it to work with v4.2? I don't understand, doesn't xcart just have release update scripts to update your cart? It sounds like they don't have a formal update procedure?
PS: Does anybody know how to make it so I can manually change the order status from the greyed out "pre-authorized" to "completed"?
