X-Payments Cloud general settings can be found on the General settings page (Settings -> General). This page is available from both the X-Payments Cloud standalone admin panel:

and the X-Payments Cloud admin panel as accessed from within the admin panel of your online store:

(The screenshot above shows the way to access the General settings page from the X-Cart 5 admin panel. On other platforms, you will find a similar menu, but please expect that the page layout may be different.)

The General settings page itself looks as follows:

Before you start using X-Payments Cloud to accept payments, take time to review the settings on this page, and adjust them as you require. Be sure to click the Save button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.

Below you will find an explanation of what each setting is used for.

Configuration

In this section, the only setting is Current time and date.

Use it to specify the current time and date in your time zone. That is needed so X-Payments Cloud can record the time and date of payments correctly.

Connection Key

This section is only available in the X-Payments Cloud standalone admin panel (not visible when the settings page is accessed from within the admin panel of your online store). It shows the date on which the current connection key was generated. It also provides the View connection key link for access to the Connection Key page in the X-Payments Cloud admin panel.

On the Connection Key page, you can preview and copy your current connection key.

A connection key is a bundle that contains the following components:

  • API key (the key used to make API requests),
  • Secret key (the key used to validate API requests),
  • Widget key (the key used to display the payment form widget in the process of checkout).


Services

This section is where you can configure and enable services.

Processing

This section contains the following settings:

Transaction amount for card tokenization: An amount for which a transaction needs to be created during a card tokenization process for gateways that do not support "zero-dollar" authorizations. This transaction will be voided automatically.

Detect Cloudflare client IP address: A proxy related setting. The idea behind this setting is that if your store server uses Cloudflare, it may interfere with the work of X-Payments Cloud. You may want to enable this setting to resolve the IP address-related issues that may arise if using Cloudflare.
