As a customer, i am willing to buy the module which costs 100$ rather than upgrading to latest version that is costing 1000$ at least to get a free module/solution which is a must.

This is exactly what we are going to do. Instead of upgrading to a new version you just disable CC functions in your X-Cart version, install
free X-Payments and connect it to your X-Cart store via a connector module. A
free connector module will be released for X-Cart 4.3.x. Most likely this module will work for X-Cart 4.2.x (with a few modifications). For older X-Cart versions we can develop a custom connector module (and it will cost less than upgrading these versions to the most recent one).
Or you can just switch to a payment gateway that handles the entire payment processing job so that it doesn't matter whether X-Cart is a PA-DSS verified application, or not (as long as CC functions are disabled in X-Cart). This is the integration method recommended by most payment gateways today.
