question about Zen Cart FREE CHARGE CARD

[whiteleyweb]

Hello, all.

I'm using ZC v1.3.9e and am setting up an online store that will only be processing payments through PayPal (letting customers thereby use credit cards, etc. through that gateway, rather than by accepting cards on my site itself).

I have two main sets of questions:

(A) First, I enabled the "Zen Cart FREE CHARGE CARD" payment option in the admin, as I WILL be offering some items for free, and want my customers to be able to check-out.

#1--Am I right in thinking that this is the only way to process free orders through ZC?

If so, I'm fine w/ using that method as long as I can change the way it appears on my check-out page. Currently it reads "The Zen Cart FREE CHARGE CARD" under "Payment Method" when the customer is on the "Step 2 of 3 - Payment Information" page. I just typed that into the developer's toolkit in the admin, and found that the following file is responsible for that line of text:
/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/freecharger.php

...which leads me to #2--is it OK if I change that line within freecharger.php to read something else (such as "FREE ORDER" or the like)? I'm assuming I can put whatever I want there, but want to check first before I royally screw up all of my previous hard work. :) When things are going too well, I start to get nervous... ha

(B) Secondly, I've enabled "PayPal Website Payments Standard - IPN" in addition to the "Zen Cart FREE CHARGE CARD" (under admin>modules>payment), and I have connected it (I hope correctly!) to my PayPal business account (which, I believe, is set up as a Website Payments Standard account). Under admin>configuration>credit cards, however, it allows me to enable/disable any/all of the credit cards listed there... independent of the selections made in the payment module area of the admin.

This raises my final question: if I'm only accepting PayPal (and thus, credit cards THROUGH PayPal), should I disable all credit cards in the admin>configuration>credit cards ? It would seem to me "yes", but again -- I'm not wanting to botch this up.

Thank you in advance for your time in answering these queries! Much appreciated. :)

Yes, that is used for all $0.00 orders ...

You can change the language file for that payment module using your templates and overrides to be anything you like ...

Anyone have any insights on this second issue? I can act based on my own "best guess," but would much rather make sure I'm on the right track based on feedback from those of you with more experience! Thank you!
