I want to disable Paypal Express for Some Sales

[rich_li_ny]

I have just installed PayPal Express in my store..

I have a service company and both sell products for customers to install themselves and also sell products that we deliver and install.

I don't want to take Paypal express as payment for any items that we are not personally installing for the customer at there premises.

Reason being:
There is NO seller protection for PayPal sellers if the customer is in South Africa.
Customers we sell and install are a LOT less likely to be fraudsters.

With that said.. I would like to add a same text above the Express Checkout button that is displayed on

index.php?main_page=shopping_cart
(Your Shopping cart Contents page)

Putting a note about it saying:
"PayPal express checkout is available only for customers purchasing Installations. All other customers please choose 'go to checkout'."

I can't for the life of me figure out where to put this text. Could someone please tell me what file/line of what file I need to add this text to??

I'm literally going crazy with this.


Thanks for the help.

Use the developers toolkit in the Admin.

Search on the text already above the PayPal express checkout section (at least part of it).

That will brig up a list of the language files which contain the information you need to edit in order to work with the text.

Just add your disclaimer where you need it in that file.

That's the problem ~ there is no test above it. I've got:

"back to shopping" button on the left
"go to checkout" button on the right

and a big yellow Check out with Paypal button below "go to checkout"

I need to place my conditions for using PP express above the button.
(Which also makes it below the "go to checkout" button a/k/a button_checkout.gif)

So there is no text to search

/includes/modules/payment/paypal/tpl_ec_button.php
insert your custom text as shown:

<div id="PPECbutton" class="buttonRow">
<p>INSERT CUSTOM TEXT HERE</p>
  <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link('ipn_main_handler.php', 'type=ec', 'SSL', true, true, true); ?>"><img src="<?php echo MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_EC_BUTTON_IMG ?>" alt="<?php echo MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_TEXT_BUTTON_ALTTEXT; ?>" /></a>
</div>

You can edit that same file to insert logic to skip the button if cart contents includes the virtual product you want to not allow PP for.

Thats exactly what I'm trying to do.. not use PP on Virtual Products.

As for insert logic, I stand a much better chance of walking on water or levitating before I figure that one out.

How difficult is it? Is there like a little thing you can post that wouldn't take you more then a minute?

This is like learning how to swim in the deep side of the swimming pool.

Trying to stay on topic: This will probably come up regarding the Google CO module also. As Google will not cover sellers of virtual products/downloads.

Thank you for the reply and help.

At the top of that same file is a line like this:

$paypalec_enabled = (defined('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_STATUS') && MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_STATUS == 'True');

Add this line directly below it:

if ($_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_virtual')) $paypalec_enabled = false;
