Microsoft XML Parser
Only required if you want to use PayPal IPN, Authorize.Net AIM, or any of the realtime shipping rate modules.
SSL certificate
We highly recommend getting an SSL cerificate, or using a “shared” certificate provided by your web host. Make sure that the SSL certificate is mapped to your regular non-SSL site to avoid having to install the software on seperate servers and/or folders.
Web Browsers
To enable us to use current technology, the software is designed to work with Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later) and Netscape 6.2 (or later) version browsers. Derivatives of these browsers should also work. Microsoft and Netscape no longer support older browser versions, and it’s estimated that fewer than 1% of Internet users still use these older browsers.
.Net 1.1 or 2.0 (only if using PayPal Payments Direct)
If you plan to use PayPal Payments Direct you must have the Microsoft .Net 1.1 or 2.0 framework installed on the server
