Can I remove the 'Payment Method' list?

[Paddington Bear]

Hi there,

This is probably quite a simple one.

If I only have one payment method listed, then it looks a bit weak having a box with one - already selected - option.

Is it safe to just <!-- --> around the Payment Method section until such time as I add another payment method?

Further...

Okay, I tried it and it doesn't work - an error states that the payment method is required - even though there is only one option.

Does anyone know how I can override the 'required' field status for the payment option, when there is only one option?

If you look at the code on the page you should be able to recreate it with the value selected as a hidden input.

Done, thank you.

Okay so here's what I did.

Note that I only expect this to be temporary, so I haven't gone to the extent of creating new layouts, etc.

Also note that in this case, the one option is for Actinic Payments. The 'Value' in the INPUT tag may be different for other payment types.

The layout did say:

<tr>
  <td>
    <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PaymentPrompt000Required%22%20%2f%3e"><span class="actrequired"></actinic:block>
      <Actinic:Variable Name="PaymentPrompt000"/>
    <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PaymentPrompt000Required%22%20%2f%3e">*</span></actinic:block>
  </td>
  <td><Actinic:Variable Name="PaymentMethodOptions"/></td>
</tr>

This is what I replaced it with:

<tr>
    <td>
	<INPUT TYPE='HIDDEN' NAME='PAYMENTMETHOD' VALUE='950'>
	Payment will be taken in the next screen. Please have your credit/debit card ready.
    </td>
</tr>

Simple really.
