Remember Me, but not my Payment Method!

[GrahamL]

Morning

I want to use the Remember Me option in checkout, but I don't want it to remember the customers payment method. Instead I want to always make the default payment method 'Credit Card' (instead of either PayPal or Cheque).

I'm using radio buttons for my Payment Method in checkout - is there a way of overiding the Remember Me, and always having the radio buttons default to credit card?

Thank you.
Graham

ps. the reason for this is we have a regular number of people who somehow select 'cheque' in checkout (so we see a 'waiting for payment'), but think they've entered their card details.

Hi again,

I now understand the problem better. With the 3 radio button options we have for payment method (credit card, paypal and cheque), new customers that arrive at checkout don't have any of these 3 radio buttons selected as default. If they miss these buttons and just enter their card details and purchase, the card details are not passed on to us. Instead we receive a "waiting for payment" order (card details just disappear!).

So I desperately need to get the radio buttons to have a default status of the first option "credit card".

Please help!

Hi there

Please do the following:
Find and Edit Session.pm (This can be found in "C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Sites\Site1")

Search for...

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

Insert additional line so it read...

$key eq "COUPONCODE"  || # and coupon code
$key eq "METHOD"      || # and payment method

Save and exit

Edit ActinicOrder.pm
Search for '1954' you will see...

my $nMethodID;
foreach $nMethodID (@arrMethods)
   {
   if ($nMethodID == $nDefault)
      {
      $sHTML .= sprintf(ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 1954), $nMethodID, 
$$::g_pPaymentList{$nMethodID}{'PROMPT'});
      }

Insert an extra line so it now reads...

my $nMethodID;
my $nDefault = "10005";
foreach $nMethodID (@arrMethods)
   {
   if ($nMethodID == $nDefault)
      {
      $sHTML .= sprintf(ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 1954), $nMethodID, 
$$::g_pPaymentList{$nMethodID}{'PROMPT'});
      }

Save and exit

The 10005 equates to 'Credit Card'.

Kind Regards

Brilliant Nadeem, that works exactly right

For anyone else who fancies radio buttons for the payment method, instead of a drop-down... All I did was follow the V7 Advanced Guide info on page 64, then all the instructions above.

Thanks again.

Similar problem in v6 - WorldPay as default payment method?

Currently I use WorldPay as my only payment method. If I try to add other payment methods, either:

* the added option - eg card details captured - becomes the default method selected (not what I want, I want WorldPay to be the default)
* the default selection does not appear at all (customer then goes to receipt page, no card details taken at all)

I have tried altering the order and text of Payment Methods in Business Settings to no avail. Also have tried radio buttons.

I have tried to follow these instructions but ...

Search for...

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

Find and Edit Session.pm (This can be found in "C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Sites\Site1")

There is no such line in the v6 file.

Edit ActinicOrder.pm
Search for '1954' you will see...

my $nMethodID;
my $nDefault = "10005";

The 10005 equates to 'Credit Card'.

Is there another code for WorldPay?

Thanks.

Hi there

There is no line because coupon code was not in version 6. Search for

$key eq "ORDERNUMBER" ||

There is another code for "Worldpay" which is "4". (This value is found within the ActinicCatalog.mdb file under [PaymentMethod] table)

Kind Regards

Worked fine, thanks!

PayPal Number

If 10005 equates to 'Credit Card' what is the number to use PayPal as the default?

Hi,

Paypal is 900

Hi,
'd like to do the same in a v16 site (default all payments to "Credit Card") but i can't work out where to place the
$key eq "METHOD" || # and payment method - in the Session.pl file
and do the changes to ActinicOrder.pm need to be changed for v16 ?
