In X5 - I would like to 1) add credit card as a payment option, but not have it processed on the site using a payment processor. I want to be able to have the customer input their credit card info, have the info come through with their order so that we can run the card manually here on our end. We used to be able to do this with some modifications in our old store.

Also, 2) I would like to be able to have an additional charge added to shipping if a customer choose COD as their payment method. UPS charges an additional fee for orders shipped COD (we have a biz account with UPS) and so we would like to be able to have this reflected during check out instead of having to manually increase the shipping cost ourselves.

Is there any way to do either of these?

Hello.
First of all, this is a very insecure approach to handling cardholder data, and we do not recommend to process credit cards this way. If you admin backend gets hacked, the thief will easily steal this information from your store. Also, this information can be stolen by downloading a database dump.
It is better to use an online payment method that supports not only immediate capture of funds from customer credit cards, but also postponed capture. When such payment option is used, money are only authorized upon the order placement, and the store operator manually captures them later.
But if you still want to use the option you described, you will need to create a custom module that would add such offline payment option to your store. Our developer docs contain an article describing how to design your own payment option

This can be done with X-Cart 5 out of the box. What you need to do is to add a handling fee for the shipping method in question in the 'Store setup' > 'Shipping' section in your admin interface. See the attached screenshot.

1) Operating like this makes you terribly liable if you get hacked. We do not recommend it either. We are working on a payment module for X-cart 5 and will have it ready soon. You may be able to emulate some functionality you want there. You are welcome to contact us for more details.

Noted. Thank you

Thank you. I think you may have misread though.
We want to be able to add a fee for a chosen payment method, not shipping. If a customer chooses COD - we want to be able to add an additional fee for using COD

I did misread indeed. Sorry for that.
Unfortunately, X-Cart can not do that out of the box. We have the module that adds payment method markups for desired methods, but it is not able to detect which shipping option you used.
Therefore, it will have to be custom coded.
