X-Payments is a platform by a PCI DSS Level 1 certified service provider that is intended for merchants who need to accept credit card payments online and who require compliance with the PCI DSS standard. X-Payments can be used with a lot of popular shopping carts including, but not limited to:

• X-Cart 5
• X-Cart 4 Classic
• Magento
• Zencart
• OsCommerce
• Zoey Commerce
• LiteCommerce

X-Payments can be used with a number of popular payment gateways as listed here.

While processing credit card payments, X-Payments works as an intermediary between an online store on one side and payment gateways and 3D-Secure systems on the other. For a detailed explanation, see X-Payments:How It Works and the diagram below:

With X-Payments you will be able to:

• Accept credit card payments from your customers via online payment gateways.
• Make your online store compliant with the PCI DSS standard which strictly recommends using only PA-DSS validated payment applications for accepting and handling credit card payments.
• Use "stored" credit card information for new orders, re-orders or recurring payments.
• Retain total control over the checkout process and avoid risky redirects by incorporating an iFrame credit card form in the store's checkout window.
