Basic Paypal Express question

[Design75]

Got my Paypal Express installed and all working ok. When I look at the cart page which now shows the Paypal button as well as the normal checkout button, I just know that there are going to be confused customers. But I really like the look of the login page which comes up after clicking the standard checkout button. It is plain and simple with Use Paypal, Sign Up or Login with a couple of lines I've added to explain which postage option will be used with Express Checkout.
So my question is, is it possible to remove the Express button on the cart page so that everbody uses the standard Checkout button?
Thanks.

Yes, there is an option in your Admin=>modules=>Payment Modules=> PayPal Express Checkout => Express Checkout Shortcut Button
Set it to "off"

No, that's no good. That removes it everywhere. I want to remove it from the cart page but leave it on the login page.

Then you will have to dig in to the code and comment out the lines manually

I'm getting to like Paypal Express - it certainly increases turnover. Hence trying to remove another page in the checkout . . .
Is there any reason why it doesn't show on individual product pages and would it work if I can find the code and put it on the product.tpl page?
Thanks.

I think I'm nearly there. I added the code below from tpl_shopping_cart_default.php to the tpl_product_info_display.php:

<!-- ** BEGIN PAYPAL EXPRESS CHECKOUT ** -->
<?php // the tpl_ec_button template only displays EC option if cart contents >0 and value >0
if (defined('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_STATUS') && MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_STATUS == 'True') {
include(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_MODULES . 'payment/paypal/tpl_ec_button.php');
}
?>
<!-- ** END PAYPAL EXPRESS CHECKOUT ** -->

It's only showing for a logged in customer but disappears for other visitors. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

PayPal is not designed to be used that way.

You need to first add the item to the cart, and then the cart's contents are sent to PayPal after clicking the PayPal button.

Thank you - in that case I shall stop messing.
