PayPal RESTful API Payment Module

[dbltoe]

Give this a try:

Add to includes/modules/payment/paypal/PayPalRestful/jquery.paypalr.checkout.js after line 20 (a blank line):

// --- MODIFIED INITIALIZATION LOGIC START ---    // MSC1 Force the 'Credit Card' option to be checked by default, 
    // ensuring the main payment method ('pmt-paypalr') is also checked if it's a radio button.
    
    // Select the main PayPal payment gateway radio/checkbox
    if (jQuery('#pmt-paypalr').length) {
        jQuery('#pmt-paypalr').prop('checked', true);
    }


    // Select the specific 'Credit Card' sub-option
    jQuery('#ppr-card').prop('checked', true);


    // Explicitly show the CC fields immediately on load
    showPprCcFields();
    // --- MODIFIED INITIALIZATION LOGIC END ---

Adjust comments as you will.

Also made the following changes to includes/languages/english/modules/payment/YOUR_TEMPLATE/lang.paypalr.php for clarity.

Line # 8-9 :

'MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALR_TEXT_TITLE' => '<b>PayPal Checkout:</b><br>',
'MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALR_SUBTITLE' => '(Select <b>PayPal Wallet</b> → <b>Confirm Order</b>)<br>(Select <b>Credit Card</b> → enter details → <b>Confirm Order</b>)',

Optional is changing the following around line 138:

'MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALR_BUTTON_COLOR' => 'WHITE',   //- One of WHITE, YELLOW, GREY or BLUE; defaults to YELLOW.

Questions:

a) Would it be possible to have the credit card fields open by default?

b) Would it be possible to move the PayPal Wallet button below the credit card fields?

Happy to create a Github issue if these are features you would consider. Thanks.

Feel free to create those GitHub issues for feature updates at https://github.com/zencart/paypalr. That's the "source of truth" for the payment module.

Thank you - issues 39 and 40 created.

The suggestions above were for the non-encapsulated version of PayPal RESTful.

[lat9]

v1.3.3 of the non-encapsulated version of the PayPal RESTful payment module is now available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2382

This release contains various sanitizations (GitHub issues #123, #122 and #121), ported from the encapsulated version (https://github.com/zencart/paypalr).

despite the plugin page, v1.3.3 does not seem compatible with zc 1.5.8.

the missing method is not in zc 1.5.8.

i would downgrade to v1.3.2.

best.

[lat9]

Yes, for now you'll need to use the non-encapsulated v1.3.2 for Zen Cart versions < 2.1.0; I'll have a 1.3.4 posted shortly to correct the issue.

[lat9]

v1.3.4 of the non-encapsulated version of the PayPal RESTful payment module is now available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2382

This version adds a local method to emulate $sniffer->indexExists, which isn't provided by the base Zen Cart until zc210.
