X-Payments/X-Cart Future Compatibility
Alex,
I have another concern with using x-payments. (BTW, I have just installed 1.0.5 along with x-cart 4.5.2 for a new project and had no problems with the install once I got my SSL cert.) My concern is with future upgrades and upgrade paths if I really go with x-payments. I was talking with Steve of cflsystems who is so much more knowledgable of x-cart and upgrades than me and he was not sure either. However, he seems to believe the following: PCI compliance will require future upgrades of x-payments within some specified time. It may be 30 days, it may be 90 days, but it will be required.Now my concern. It's not easy to upgrade x-cart when you are talking about major versions. I had almost completed my new store on 4.4.5 when I decided to scrap it for 4.5.2 and basically start over. Using x-payments will I find a day when a PCI required upgrade of X-Payments will necessitate a major upgrade of x-cart to continue working? My concern is that because the upgrade of x-payments will be required in a limited timeframe, I will find myself scrambling to upgrade x-cart at perhaps the worst time when I have so many other things on my plate. A time when I had no plans to upgrade x-cart. I would think this has to be a real concern. So can you say X-Payments going forward will always remain backward compatible with say x-cart 4.5.x and forward? Thank you.

We can't promise that and we can't promise the opposite. What we can promise is that we will develop X-Payments further (e.g. we are planning version 1.1 this fall). Also, upgrade of X-Payments is very easy (especially comparing with X-Cart) - in nutshell it is simple overwrite of files. See http://help.x-cart.com/index.php?title=X-Payments:Upgrading

Re: X-Payments/X-Cart Future Compatibility
Thanks Alex,
Can you say anything about upgrades of x-payments and PCI compliance? What are the rules for staying on the latest and greatest?

Re: X-Payments/X-Cart Future Compatibility
You should be compliant by using major version of X-Payments listed at the PCI council site.
Currently X-Payments version 1.0.x is listed at https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/approved_companies_providers/validated_payment_applications.php?agree=true However, you should understand that "PCI compliance" is not just using PA-DSS certified software. It assumes other requirements, too. PA-DSS certification for software is just one of them.
