* Only HTML templates can be integrated. Inventory control requires payment systems that use the Mals-E remote call feature. View requirements for more info.

** Inventory maintenance requires the HTTP Call feature in Mals. Some payment systems, such as LinkPoint, Mirapay, Netbanx, Nochex, PayByCheck and PSIGate (see Mals-E for a list), do not utilize the HTTP call feature and therefore will not work with OptionCart's inventory maintenance system.
