How do I not display the PayPal 'Debit or Credit Card button'.

[skinnybloke]

I have just upgraded my site from v18.1 to v18.2.

I do not want to show the PayPal 'Debit or Credit Card button' on the checkout pages. I thought that this would be hidden by disabling it in the business settings. See attached - any ideas?

From the look of it you haven't disable credit or debit cards, just the facility for people to pay in stages using paypal credit.

What payment options have you set up?

If you're using paypal ecommerce then that's the option that enables processing debit or credit cards via paypal.

PS. 'Additional methods' seems to be enabled. I have that disabled on mine but I've no idea what it does.

Hi Mike - regarding 'What payment options have you set up?'

Do you mean within the PayPal portal?

I see "Additional methods" = "enabled"
what is this?

Hi david,

As I said, I've no idea what 'Additional methods' does but it's there on the image of your configurations options.

I was asking about the payment options methods to try and see if there are any clues to what your problem might be. I don't have the same problem you do so I'm just trying to work out what might be causing it by asking for more info.

Anyway, thinking about the past when I was just using paypal standard I think that might be the usual image. If I remember correctly both images take you to paypal where customers can either pay via paypal or using a credit / debit card (although unsurprisingly paypal will encourage visitors to open a paypal account if they want to pay by card)

Sorry I can't be more help.

I do not want to show the PayPal 'Debit or Credit Card button' on the checkout pages

If you mean the buttons on the first page of the checkout (address entry), you could delete - or comment out, to be on the safe side - the whole of the BLOCKIF near the top of the "Order 00 Bulk Area RWD" layout (Lines 10 - 40 on my setup, yours may differ).

You can also do a similar thing to remove the PayPal buttons from the shopping cart: In layout "View Cart Area Bulk Area RWD", find this

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsPayPalCheckoutEnabled%22%20%2f%3e%20AND%20%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsSSLUsedForWholeSite%22%20%2f%3e" ><div id='idPayPalButtons'><p>- or -</p><actinic:variable name="PayPalCheckoutButtons" /></div></actinic:block>

and comment it out. It's Line 52 on mine.

Always make a backup copy before making any changes.

PayPal Checkout offers a number of payment options which are accessed via Smart Buttons. These buttons are presented by PayPal based on currency and geographic location. The buttons include payment methods such as SOFORT, iDEAL, Giropay and others.
The 'Additional methods' option enables or disables these additional methods.

PayPal may offer card payments in 3 different ways using the current Sellerdeck integration with PayPal Checkout: -

• By adding the payment method 'PayPal (Cards)' in Sellerdeck Desktop
• When the PayPal button is clicked, the buyer may be offered the option to pay as a guest (no PayPal account). This option should be avoided. Sellerdeck cannot disable this option however the option can be disabled via the merchant's PayPal account. If 'PayPal (Cards)' is enabled in Sellerdeck Desktop then the guest option should be disabled on the PayPal account.
• PayPal may choose to present a black 'Credit/Debit Card' button - this option is not supported by Sellerdeck as we support the first option

To disable the Guest option, open your PayPal account settings, look for 'Website Preferences', click to update, look for “PayPal account optional” setting and disable it.

The black button cannot be turned off from the PayPal account, it can however be disabled from the web site and should be automatically. If anybody is seeing the black credit card button then I suggest raising a support ticket with us so we can examine why it is not being hidden
