i want to remove 'go to checkout' and only have use paypal checkout - anyone knw how?

[what44]

on my shopping cart page, there are two options for checkouts. one for paypal express which i want to use and another one, well, seems like same thing. but the button is a zen cart 'go to check out button'

al i want is one button, with the least number of clicks to get the customer to the paypal payment page. how do i do this?

i also noticed on the payment method - step 2 page, the following:

Payment Method

Please select a payment method for this order.
Paypal IPN

Click here to pay via PayPal Express Checkout Checkout with PayPal

whats the difference for the customer. IPN OR EXPRESS?

I also want to remove this.


does anyone know about removing it?

I will try to look through the code, but it's easier if someone already knows and can tell us.

Okay. I am not sure if this is the way that the zen experts would recommend doing this but it SEEMS to be a solution.


WARNING: will edit includes/languages/english/button_names.php. SAVE A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL JUST IN CASE (just in case it turns out I'm an idiot )

Here is what to do:

1. we are going to edit your file includes/languages/english/button_names.php
2. inside of that file find this line -->define('BUTTON_IMAGE_CHECKOUT', 'button_checkout.gif');
3. and change it to -->define('BUTTON_IMAGE_CHECKOUT', '&nbsp');
4. next find -->define('BUTTON_CHECKOUT_ALT', 'Checkout');
5. and change it to -->define('BUTTON_CHECKOUT_ALT', '&nbsp');

no more checkout icon.

let me know if it works for you. cheers.

p.s. if there is a smarter way some one please tell.

Just noticed.

although the icon is not there anymore, there is still a header link "checkout" (at the top of page, next to "home" "login" "shopping cart"). that's no good...

here is how I fixed that (remember, first make a backup copy of the original file!):

1. go to templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
2. find the following code --><li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
3. delete all of it
4. done

no more hopefully

Instead of overwriting existing files, you should be using a custom-template override folder.
