Setting a default payment

[dreamscape]

on my site I offer only 2 payment types (credit card or paypal)... since the majority of the time, customers will be paying with credit card, I would like to get CC to the default payment (meaning that when you goto the checkout_payment, it is already selected for)...

 

I want to do this for a few reasons:

 

#1 to make life easier on the customers and

 

#2 some cusomters are getting confused because they put their CC info in and just get looped through checkout_payment.php (since it really is not clear you need to select a payment type radio button)...

 

so I would like to make CC as the default, so that it is already selected for individuals...

 

I have searched and came up empty handed...

 

might anyone know how this could be accomplished.

[Druide]

i had that one on my TODO list till now...lol

 

goto ADMIN > MODULES > PAYMENT

set the payment that you want to be selected to the HIGHEST sort order

 

then goto catalog/checkout_payment.php

find

<?php

   if (sizeof($selection) > 1) {

     echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id']);

   } else {

     echo tep_draw_hidden_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id']);

   }

?>

 

replace with

<?php

   if (sizeof($selection) > 1) {

     echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id'], 'true');

   } else {

     echo tep_draw_hidden_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id']);

   }

?>

 

the only added thing is , 'true'

 

this is a very rough solution but it works

 

you can adjust it all to your needs this way, just play with it...

 

enjoy

 

Let me know by PM if you've found a better solution, thanks in advance ;)

If instead of 'true' you put $i==0, then the top payment method will be selected. I'm sure it will work with numbers other than 0 if you want something other than the top one selected.

 

Thanks for the tip Robert :)

[dreamscape]

thanks for the tip guys...

 

also to get the payment method highlighted by default I changed:

<?php

   if ( ($selection[$i]['id'] == $payment) || ($n == 1) ) {

     echo '                  <tr id="defaultSelected" class="moduleRowSelected" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "n";

   } else {

     echo '                  <tr class="moduleRow" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "n";

   }

?>

 

to:

<?php

   if ( ($selection[$i]['id'] == $payment) || ($n == 1) ) {

     echo '                  <tr id="defaultSelected" class="moduleRowSelected" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "n";

   } else {

 if ( (!$payment) && ($i==0) ) {

     echo '                  <tr id="defaultSelected" class="moduleRowSelected" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "n";

 } else {  

     echo '                  <tr class="moduleRow" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "n";

   }

   }

?>

 

now the top payment method will be highlighted (and selected thanks to your tip) by default... and if they shoose something else and go back to change it, it will highlight only the one the previously chose.

[Druide]

thanks for sharing guys :)

[Guest]

This is fantastic! Just what I was looking for... (especially with the highlight and top payment choice mods) Double thanks for sharing! :)

 

I hope this gets incorporated into the base code. I easily nominate it.

[gazb]

Excellent! Just what I was looking for! Thanks very much Druide, orchard, and dreamscape!

I can't get this to work. For one if I set any of the options to sort as 0, none of them sort properly. So instead i set them to sort from number 1 and up. So I changed the line in checkout_payment.php to:

 

<?php

? if (sizeof($selection) > 1) {

? ? echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id'], '$i==1');

? } else {

? ? echo tep_draw_hidden_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id']);

? }

?>

 

I have two payment methods with a sort order of 1 & 2, but with the above code it always selects the second option no matter which way I sort it.

Try sorting them as 1,2,3,...

and leaving that line as "true". <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Oh!

I think I just understood what you meant!

 

Try: Use $i==0, without quotes, and without '1's.

Any Ideas on how to do it with shipping?! lol

[oldworldcharms]

I can't get this to work, does anyone know how to put the radio buttons to the left instead of on the right side?

 

thanks

[webmaster69]

I could not get it to work, the sort order was correct in admin 1,2,3 but the bottom payment method was always selected.

 

The following worked for me:

 

<?php

if (sizeof($selection) > 1) {

echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id'], $i==0);

 

} else {

echo tep_draw_hidden_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id']);

}

?>

[PropioWeb]

<?php

if (sizeof($selection) > 1) {

echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id'], $i==0);

 

} else {

echo tep_draw_hidden_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id']);

}

?>

This also worked for me and I have the order set to 0, 1, 2.

[FulfillDisc]

This also worked for me and I have the order set to 0, 1, 2.

 

The key to making this work is to drop the quotes and simply type in $i==0

 

I was having the same problem of the bottom payment option being selected, until I removed the quotes '$i==0' and replaced with just $i==0

 

Works like a charm now. Thanks all for sharing

Hi,

 

I can´t see pay method select on user options. I´m modifing chackout_payment.php but it don´t work.

Any idea?

 

Thanks,

The code should look like this

 

<?php

if ( ($selection[$i]['id'] == $payment) || ($n == 1) ) {

echo ' <tr id="defaultSelected" class="moduleRowSelected" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "\n";

// Start Setting a default payment

} else {

 

if ( (!$payment) && ($i==0) ) {

 

echo ' <tr id="defaultSelected" class="moduleRowSelected" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "\n";

// End Setting a default payment

} else {

echo ' <tr class="moduleRow" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "\n";

} // Setting a default payment

}

?>

<td width="10"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '10', '1'); ?></td>

<td class="main" colspan="3"><b><?php echo $selection[$i]['module']; ?></b></td>

<td class="main" align="right">

 

<?php

if (sizeof($selection) > 1) {

echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id'], $i==0); // $i==0 Setting a default payment

} else {

echo tep_draw_hidden_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id']);

}

?>

I too had trouble until I used webmaster69 text

 

Thanks all

Hi,

 

I have tried alll the suggestions made on this page, but no matter which one I try, Credit/Debit card payment option always gets chosen/highlighted/selected

 

Its so strange.

 

I want the paypal one to be chosen, i have sorted it as 0 and creditcard to 1 and cheque to 2 but it doesnt work

[♥Monika in Germany]

I use a differnt approach, not with the radio true/false

 

I just add in the upper part of the code, right after the payment classes are declared, a default payment. You need to use the same term as the payment class has, so it may be paypal_ipn

 

// load all enabled payment modules
 require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'payment.php');
 $payment_modules = new payment;

 $payment = 'paypal';

This worked great! Thank you.... I actually searched your book for this... Should have started here.

I used "cc" for credit card default (instead of paypal) as Monika suggested... Works Great!!

THANK YOU!

This works very well, but I prefer the customers selection remains if they go back to the payment page. For instance, if Credit Card is selected by default, and they select PayPal, then go back, I prefer that PayPal remains selected until they change it. This is how I did it:

 

// load all enabled payment modules
 require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'payment.php');
 $payment_modules = new payment;

// Select Credit Card as default payment method if none selected
 if (!isset($payment)) {
$payment = 'authorizenet_aim';
 }

 

Just replace 'authorizenet_aim' with whatever you want the default payment method to be ('paypal_ipn' or whatever). If you already have RC1 installed, that's all you have to do. If not, there is a change in RC1 that I believe you need to do (I haven't tested without the change, so I'm not sure).

 

Find this:

 

echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id']);

 

 

And replace with this:

 

echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id'], ($selection[$i]['id'] == $payment));

Thank you for posting, this works on my patched RC1, the "old" stopped working.

[ronb]

If instead of 'true' you put $i==0, then the top payment method will be selected. I'm sure it will work with numbers other than 0 if you want something other than the top one selected.

 

 

If anyone is using fast easy checkout, and are trying to implement this, please note that you need to add the above code to payment_box.php (/catalog/includes/fec/) NOT checkout_payment.php to get it to work !!

 

Hope that helps someone
