The X-Cart module, located in the Integrations group, is an add-on module that can be installed from the Plugin module. After installing the plugin, a new module is added that integrates with one or more X-Cart shopping carts. The X-Cart Plugin works on X-Cart 5.

The documentation on this page is for the most recent version of the

X-Cart plugin. To get the most recent version, Update Fishbowl.
