How do I display my payment methods as radio buttons? (SellerDeck 2013 and earlier)

[KB]

In SellerDeck, you can access all the HTML used within the checkout. Most of it is accessible via the 'Design' tab (Checkout Page 0/1/2 and Receipt). However, some key elements are within 'Design | Text'. The most important of these is the drop-down list used to offer payment methods to your customers.

To find the relevant section of Design | Text:

1. Go to 'Design | Text', click 'Go to' and go to prompt Phase: -1 and ID: 1951.

You will highlight the following section:

<select name='PAYMENTMETHOD' size="1">

The highlighted line, and the three lines below it (IDs 1952, 1953 and 1954), contains the HTML used to build the payment-method drop-down list in the checkout. To change it to something else (in this case a list of radio buttons) you will need to do the following:

2. In the first line, delete

<select name='PAYMENTMETHOD' size="1">

3. In the second line, replace <option value="%s">%s with

<input type="radio" name="PAYMENTMETHOD" value="%s">%s<br />

4. In the third line, delete </select>

5. In the fourth line replace <option selected="selected" value="%s">%s with

<input type="radio" name="PAYMENTMETHOD" value="%s" checked="checked">%s<br />

Note that 'Fallback' needs to be selected against a payment method for that selection to be 'checked' by default.

NOTE: This article is relevent to SellerDeck 2013 (v12) and earlier versions.

SellerDeck 2014 and later versions have an option to choose between Radio buttons and a drop down box for the payment options within 'Settings | Business Settings | Payment and Security' tab.
