Pre-Select A Payment Option at check-out?

**JaxMac** · 10 May 2006, 08:04 AM

I have 2 payment options at checkout, credit card (via Authorize.net, AIM) and Paypal. I'm guessing most people would want to use a credit card. Right now, neither are selected by default.

How would I get the radio button to select credit card as the default payment method?

Thanks!

I hope someone replies to this as I am also interested in finding out how to do this.

I hope there's a solution too. I'll make sure that it gets posted here.

I did see in another thread someone said you could add a data piece to the database that is true or false and have the radio button reference this? I looked at the code and couldn't find where the radio button is in the html/php... perhaps if I knew this I could write the reference to a database item...

Has anyone worked out how to do this yet
i really need to work out how to do this as i have customers who select to pay via cheque and then put in there card details and then wonder why we don't have there details so i need it to default to paying via credit card and hopefully stop this happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

go to admin --> modules --> payment
click on Authorize.net (AIM) - (I assume you have already installed this)
click on edit
there should be a Set Order Status
and you should be able to set it as default

Hi.

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried your idea (and I did have Authorzize.net (AIM) installed already). But it didn't work. I believe the Set Order Status is for the status of an order after it's been placed and not selecting a default payment method.

Thanks though.

NOTE: Order Status has nothing to do with which Payment Module is set in what display order ...

Orders Status is what the Status of an Order will be following completion of the checkout based on the Payment Method that was chosen ...

Example: If you work with Downloads, you would want you Orders Status to be Pending on Check and Money order and perhaps on Credit Card or PayPal you would want it set to Processing so that the Download is immediately available to those who pay with Credit Card or PayPal ... but not immediately available to those who pay with Check/Money Order ...

I have a programmer solving this for me. It should take some time before you receive a contribution on it but, it is in the works now.
