Hello,
We have been instructed by the Bank of Ireland to install OpenCart with the BOIPO plug to process payments.
The Bank of Ireland does not accept PayPal or any third party processing platforms.
How do I upload and install OpenCart on the X5 hosting that I have?
Posted on the
In Website X5, when I select WebSite X5 hosting when exporting, the FTP window icon is inactive, so I wouldn't be able to upload files there at all.
The Incomedia employees can perhaps say whether it is even possible to install a third-party shop system with WebSite X5 hosting.
The Incomedia employees will probably only be online again on Monday during office hours in Italy.
Hello Michael,
Yes you can.
2 options.
Use completely Open Cart Shopping solution directely from WSX5. For that you need:
- Copy into a directory (mydirectory by example) your Open Cart Software via FTP outside of WSX5
- From WSX5 with an HTML Object you can call directly your Open Cart index file (https://www.mywebsite.com/directory/index.html) via an iframe
And you can use completely Open cart by this way inside a WSX5 page.
Other option should be to integrate the payment module used by Open Cart directly into WSX5 and to use WSX5 for the shop and payment.
To configure payment plugin it's by this way.
Hope this helps

Thank you.
I uploaded via Filezilla ... but - if I understand correctly...
I need to create an OpenCart database but cannot see how to do that because my X5 hosting has no option to do that.
The localhost database will have client details but I need a separate OpenCart database.
Advice please

I have installed OpenCart via xampp and it works fine.
I now need to connect it to my website.
OpenCart suggests creating a sub-folder - how do I do that on X5 hosting?
Is it possible to access the web space via FTP program with WebSiteX5 hosting? - if so, then subdirectories can usually also be created with the FTP program.
Hello Michael,
Lke explained before you can have an access to your OpenCart application with an iframe html tag configured into an HTML object into WSX5 project, to call your OpenCart index file like:
<iframe src="https://www.yourwebsite.com/yourOpenCartdirectory/index.php"></iframe>
You can also change the window size of your iframe
