ZenCart Integration


Integrating your XPS Ship account with ZenCart allows your customers’ orders to be directly transferred from ZenCart to XPS Ship, providing quick and easy shipping. The steps below will guide you through the process of integrating your XPS Ship account with ZenCart.


Note: Installing the plug-in file to your Zen Cart root folder is beyond the XPS scope of support. We recommend you contact your store developer or Zen Cart Support if you need assistance with the plug-in installation process, as the process can differ based on the unique Apache server configuration.

Pre-Requisite

Below are the prerequisite before setting up for ZenCart Plugin:

ZenCart Setup

Download and unzip the ZenCart Rock Solid plugin

Save the php file into your root folder of your shopping cart

Locate the "init_sanitize.php" file. It is located in the "includes/init_includes/" folder.

Find and replace this line (usually located on line 30 of the init_sanitize.php file):

zen_redirect ( zen_href_link ( FILENAME_TIME_OUT, '', $request_type ) );


and replace it with these lines of code:

if(!(($_GET['action'] == 'getOrder' || $_GET['action'] == 'update') && isset($_POST['admin_name']) && isset($_POST['admin_pass']))){
zen_redirect ( zen_href_link ( FILENAME_TIME_OUT, '', $request_type ) );
}
