Hey there,

I am getting a little frustrated with the Paypal Express Option in my OsC 2.3.1
If I click the option -OR- check out with Paypal (instead of the check out button) without being registered, it returns the item and shipping price without tax!
This does not happen when logged in however.

- Is there a way to disable the guest check out option alltogether?
I would prefer the customers to log in anyways and this tax thing is driving me nuts....

Any help is much appreciated!

Cheerio
Tai

Tai,

Remove the -OR- PayPal Express button and just use the regular checkout button.

In case you are still looking for this solution, it was posted on another post but here it is:

Whoever wants to get rid of the guest checking out option with paypal express without loosing the payment option in later checkout do the following:
(Always backup your file before making any changes to it...)

delete from >catalog >shopping_cart.php

<?php
$initialize_checkout_methods = $payment_modules->checkout_initialization_method();
if (!empty($initialize_checkout_methods)) {
?>
<p align="right" style="clear: both; padding: 15px 50px 0 0;"><?php echo TEXT_ALTERNATIVE_CHECKOUT_METHODS; ?></p>
<?php
reset($initialize_checkout_methods);
while (list(, $value) = each($initialize_checkout_methods)) {
?>
<p align="right"><?php echo $value; ?></p>
<?php
}
}
?>


Cheers
Dan
