    Default Re: Paypal checkout button

    If you change the reference to another PayPal-served button, then the button will appear fine if the visitor has a working internet connection ... which of course is a reasonable assumption if they're visiting your live site over the internet. Your offline development server may have other problems if it's not actually connected to the internet or has firewall things blocking external access. But that's neither a Zen Cart nor a PayPal problem.

    Default Re: Paypal checkout button

    I've tried changing the button to https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynowCC_LG.gif and it's still showing https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/...ssCheckout.gif on the live site, which is what I suspected would happen.

    So sorry to ask again, but what am I doing wrong when I am changing the reference in the /includes/languages/modules/english/payment/paypalwpp.php file. Once again, this is working correctly on my development server, but not on the live server - the reverse of what you are suggesting.

    That tells me you've got an override version of the paypalwpp.php file on your server.

    Default Re: Paypal checkout button

    Unfortunately their button doesn't make it clear to my client's older customers that they can use their credit card to pay...
    You could add a notice to the shopping cart page, (which is where the PayPal Express button appears), notifying customers that they can pay by credit card. The file to edit would be:

    includes/languages/english/your_template/shopping_cart.php

    And to the payment checkout page:

    includes/languages/english/your_template/checkout_payment.php

    Thanks both of you.

    DrByte: I've been thinking that myself but haven't a clue where it would be! Hence my frustration and confusion.

    RescoCCC: I've had a chat with the client, and had discussed that possibility with them. They're happy to go with that route, so I'll follow your advice and edit those pages. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly this time :)
