Or X-payments will be just a separate application on my server? Also when you say it will require SSL do you mean separate SSL for X-Payments only?

X-Payments will be just a separate application on your server.

You need an SSL for the domain where X-Payments is installed. If it is "https://checkout.store.com", you need an SSL for "checkout.store.com". Or you need a wildcard SSL for "*.store.com".

Do we need a separate payment server to remain PCI compliant?

I'm not an expert on PCI compliance and can't consult you on this matter. However, I guess it depends on whether customers enter credit card numbers on your website, or on the USAePay website. If your server and web applications never touch the credit card data (i.e. it is collected on the USAePay website and is never transmitted to your server), I believe you don't need X-Payments at all.
