Please note that, in order to use this module, you need to purchase separately the OpenCart API extension. We will provide a discount code for 30% OFF upon the purchase of this module.

Configuring payment methods The OpenCart Native module support payments via Paypal, Stripe and bank transfer - should you need a specific payment method, please contact our support team. You ll need to add the API details for each of the payment methods that you d like to activate.

LAYOUTs The the OpenCart Native module was optimized to be used with Siberian Layout 9 same as seen below. It does, however, work with any other layouts. 5. Additional modules When adding additional modules to this App, you should be aware that the login needs to be made first using the OpenCart user account icon (figure 5.1). When the user logs-in using the OpenCart account, the user will be automatically logged into the Siberian account. Figure 5.1 OpenCart user account icon OpenCart User Account icon 5

6 In case you need to add modules that require login, please follow the following steps (figure 5.2): 1-Add the modules that require login to your App; 2-Add the Padlock feature to the App and select the modules that require login; 3-Make sure that the Padlock feature is not activated so that the Padlock icon will not show on the App. Figure 5.2 Padlock setup 6

Following the steps outlined above, the modules that require login will only appear after the user has logged in using the OpenCart user account icon.

7 Following the steps outlined above, the modules that require login will only appear after the user has logged in using the OpenCart user account icon. If you do not follow the steps outlined above, the user will be able to login directly into Siberian and won t be logged into OpenCart. 6. User Frontend Interface Below you can find the user frontend interface screens. 7

8 7. TIPS The OpenCart Native module only requires one icon but you should add additional icons for, e.g., About Us, Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy and Delivery & Returns. These additional pages will make the App fuller and will avoid the App from being rejected on the Apps stores. 8
