Is it possible for the payment type not to be included in the cookie when the user revisits the site. I have 4 payment types set up and I want the customer to select the type on each visit but not have to type the other 'remembered' info in.

Hi,

You can set what you want as the default payment method (ie what will appear in the drop-down list on every transaction) by doing the following (backup your site first):

- browse to your site folder and locate 'Session.pm'
- open it in a text editor such as notepad
- search for:

($key eq "COUPONCODE")  ||		# and coupon code

- add the following on a new line after the above:

($key eq "METHOD")      || 		# and payment method

- close and save the file
- then edit 'ActinicOrder.pm'
- search for: 1952
- you should see:

		my $sSelectLine = ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 1952);	# "<OPTION VALUE='%s'>%s\n"
		my $nMethodID;

- add a new line under this:

my $nDefault = "10005";

'10005' is the ID for 'Credit Card Details Captured for later Processing' - you can get the ID's for the payment methods from ActinicCatalog.mdb file (Payment Methods table).

- close and save this file
- update your site

The default payment method will now be shown for each customer and not what they have used on a previous order.

Actinic is not able to provide any detailed support for script changes made. If you find that there is a problem, an original copy of the script can be found within the 'Original' folder in your installation. Copy this into your site folder.
