Add text to Paypal IPN in Payment Method

[cotswold]

I would like to add text to advise the customer that card payments can be made if they select the “Paypal IPN” option in the Payment Method section off check out. Could you advise which file or files needs to be altered.



I had a look with the Developer’s Tool kit searching “Paypal IPN” this brings up a number of results.



Thanks in advancew for any help offered

Would appreciate some help in resolving this question.

So you want to add this message to the payment page during checkout?

If so, there's some text on that page next to the PayPal option which says "Save time. Check out securely. Pay without sharing your financial information." You could add to or replace this text with your desired message. To do this, you would need to go to..

includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php

Line 20 I think.

Remember to overide the file.

Thanks for the help Steven300, the text I would like to alter is not in this file.
When the customer gets to step 2 of 3 where the Billing Address can be changed etc there is box headed Payment Method with:-


Please select a payment method for this order.
Check/Money Order

Paypal IPN

I would like to add text here to tell the customer they can use most card types to make payment if they select Paypal IPN. Where will I find the code that creates this box?

[cotswold]

OK thanks found it, it is in includes/languages/english/checkout_payment.php
line 20 not sure why I was being so dim!!!

Thanks for help.

Steven300 is right though...

In:- includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php

You can edit this line:-

  define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ACCEPTANCE_MARK_TEXT', 'Save time. Check out securely. <br />Pay without sharing your financial information.'); 

That will change the text under the paypal icons.

I do not have that line of code, there is no text below the paypal icons.
The Zencart version is 1.3.7.1
Thanks for help

Ah... I'm looking at the file in 1.3.8a .

Substantial improvements were made in the PayPal process from the 1.3.7 version.

If you rely on PayPal as a key payment option, you would do well to upgrade your zenshop to 1.3.8a

Hi,
Is there any way to add this text in 1.3.7? An upgrade is on the cards, but would like to add this text in as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

In the time between my last posting and your post above, you could have upgraded 20 times...

... 1.3.8a has enhanced Paypal features and functionality and, what's more, you would have been able to add the text already.

To try this in 1.3.7 will require some custom coding. As I don't use 1.3.7, I can't advise where to alter code. This may also be part of the challenge - the knowledgeable people in the forum tend to upgrade - so they aren't in a position to advise you as they no longer have "working set-ups" of old versions.
