X-Payments:What's New in X-Payments Connector for Magento

In this section:

Magento Connector 1.8.0 features

Major improvement and revamp of connection and configuration: instead of multiple configuration pages, an admin user can now complete the entire process of X-Payments connection and configuration on the same page.
Now you can configure up to 3 payment gateways supported by X-Payments in your Magento checkout.
An admin user can save credit cards into customer profiles on behalf of customers.
An admin user can enter a new credit card to pay for a new order created in the Magento store back end.
"Saving credit card" setup is now available to Magento admin users.
"X-Payments Order State" page has been redesigned. This page enables the admin user to do partial refunds/voids and capture authorized funds.
Now access to the X-Payments Connector features can be partially or completely restricted with the help of Magento’s Roles and Permissions.
New "Developer Mode" ("Use HTTP protocol") can now be enabled for testing/development environment with no SSL support.

Checkout can now have up to three X-Payments payment methods.
The saving of credit cards by customers has been revamped and improved.
Support of <a href="https://marketplace.magento.com/aheadworks-onestepcheckout.html">One Step Checkout module by AheadWorks</a> (beta).
Declined payments do not consume discount coupons anymore.
Free shipping calculation for <a href="https://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/one-page-checkout-extension.html">FireCheckout</a> has been corrected.
A speed up for callback request processing has been implemented to make the entire Magento checkout faster with X-Payments.
Store operation with the X-Payments Connector extension switched off has been fixed.

Decomposed the common extension helper. Now different features such as API communication, cart data preparation, address processing, and module settings are separated by different sequestered helpers.
Redesigned the functionality that was handled by the observer. Changed according to MVC design. E.g. A request to charge a card again is executed by a special API request from a certain controller.
The inheritance tree has been corrected and simplified. Internal quote model is used to transport data during payment processing, and it does not affect quote class extensions made by other modules.
Unused legacy code has been removed. Code style has been improved.
The version in the internal config file has been corrected.
Other minor bug fixes and improvements.
