Contents

Magento Admin panel

- 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.

- 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.
Customer front end

Code refactoring (for developers who extend the module features)
- 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.
