OpenCart Plugin connects OpenCart CMS (Content Management Service) data to your XPS Ship dashboard. The plugin will show the necessary data for the eCommerce transactions of your Opencart services. You can see all the updates of your ship orders through your OpenCart admin dashboard.
Installing the module to the OpenCart folder is beyond the XPS scope of support. We recommend you contact your store developer or OpenCart Support if you need assistance with the module installation process, as the process can differ based on the unique configuration of other OpenCart files.
