OpenCart Community

Version 3.0.2.0

I have just enabled Paypal Express and have the button displayed on the cart and checkout pages. However, paypal express is also listed as a payment option when you reach the checkout in the payment methods radio selection which kinda defeats the point of having the button displayed.

Is it possible to remove it?

I think this would be an amendment in the controller/checkout/payment_method.php file? just not 100% sure how I would implement it.

Why give customers less choice of what method to use?

It's been shown that more payment methods = more sales.

Its not removing the option. The option is there by way of the paypal express button which the customer should use to checkout with if they wish to use that option.

What I am looking to achieve is removal of the duplicate listing as a payment option.

This is how it looks at the moment

Paymentsense
Paypal express checkout
Paypal
Bank transfer

Paypal express button

Doesnt make any sense to have it listed twice.

Hmm true. The code loops over all the enabled payment methods, you might have to add some nasty hack to check for that one and not display just that one ...

lol well i prefer cheeky hack

Haha well, it can be the only way on rare occasions!

Actually, I am wondering if this cheeky little hack could be achieved in Twig.

{% if payment_methods %}
<p>{{ text_payment_method }}</p>
{% for payment_method in payment_methods %}
<div class="radio">
<label>{% if payment_method.code == code or not code %}
{% set code = payment_method.code %}
<input type="radio" name="payment_method" value="{{ payment_method.code }}" checked="checked" />
{% else %}
<input type="radio" name="payment_method" value="{{ payment_method.code }}" />
{% endif %}
{{ payment_method.title }}
{% if payment_method.terms %}
({{ payment_method.terms }})
{% endif %} </label>
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}

Is the code in question. I am a Twig novice but looking at what you can do with it wouldn't something like

{% if payment_method.code == pp_express %}
<input type="hidden"...

So hiding the payment option from the radio list.

One way to find out ...

That would be a no for TWIG. Well, not any way I know to try it.

I did manage to do this in my one-page checkout in the payment method by checking in the payment method routine for pp_express and then basically telling it to skip that and load the rest.

you can check in the config for "module_pp_button_status" = 1, then the button extension is enabled.

Yes, you can. But not what I was looking for checking the button status would not remove the duplicate listing.

well, I do not know how that button is supposed to work and why it is a separate module but you could disable pp express based on that condition.
Not sure what that would do to your quotes in cart though.
