X-Payments:Customizing the interface (X-Payments 2.2 and earlier)

Customizing the Interface

This section contains information on customizing the page where customers enter their credit card information.

IMPORTANT: X-Payments has a protection mechanism that allows it to detect modifications made to the template files of the page where customers enter cardholder data. This mechanism ensures that the page is not modified/tampered with without X-Payments administrator knowing. After any modifications have been made to X-Payments templates, the administrator is notified with a message in the Dashboard and checkout form stops working. To approve the changes and enable X-Payments checkout form, login as main administrator user and click the "Approve" link which appears in the message at the top of the Dashboard page (see a screen shot below).

Adding a Favicon

It is possible to add a favicon for the X-Payments front end.

To add a favicon, do the following:

1. Create an image file that you would like to use as the favicon and save it with the same name as your template name in X-Payments. For example, if your online store uses "mytemplate" X-Payments template, you should save the favicon as "mytemplate.ico".
2. Upload the created file to the <xp-dir>/public/templates/ directory on your X-Payments server (templates/ for users of X-Payments Hosted plans).
3. Make sure the file permissions have been set correctly (e.g., open the file in your browser: https://example.com/public/templates/mytemplate.ico)
4. Approve the changes you have made to the X-Payments files on the Dashboard page in the X-Payments back end.

Scripts

For security reasons, the template files of the page where customers enter cardholder data may not include references to scripts loaded from an external host. X-Payments versions 2.2 and later will remove any references to external scripts from the templates. Please note that X-Payments versions 2.1.1-2.1.3 block all scripts (not just the ones from external hosts).
