How to change the PAYPAL payment button text?

ver 1.3.9c

I want to have my customers use PayPal for both PayPal members and Non members. Most customers don;t realize they can still use their credit card without being a PayPal member. As soon as they are re-directed to the paypal checkout they see "Use a Debit or Credit Card" option.

But, in my site checkout , payment page I want to change the PayPal button to say "PayPal, Debit or Credit Card".

Where can I modify the text for this PayPal option ?

This is for the PayPal Standard Mod

Re: How to change the PAYPAL payment button text?

Thanks.
Yes, but I'd like to add a small heading above it to let customers know that the PayPal link is also for Debit and Credit card purchases.

I've got to get off the gateway I am currently on which has outrageous fees such as DOUBLE transaction Fee (f0r both the sale AND the refund) for Returns, whereas PayPal refunds the Transaction fee.

Not above, but the describing text is at

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

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

Re: How to change the PAYPAL payment button text?

I forgot to mention I am using the FEC mod (to consolidate checkout into 2 steps instead of three). The link I am at when on this checkou, paymentt page is:
https://www.cvtreasures.com/checkout/fecaction/null

So, the actual page I think I need to edit is fecaction.php

Re: How to change the PAYPAL payment button text?

Update:
it would be the page Before I make the payment selection (the checkout page where I select either credit card or PayPal payment option) The link I am at when on this checkout, payment page is :
https://www.cvtreasures.com/checkout/fecaction/null

So, the actual page I think I need to edit is fecaction.php **or checkout.php **

Re: How to change the PAYPAL payment button text?

I don't know if you're still monitoring this thread but thanks for the help! I was in the same boat.

Once I got into the language file, I also noticed that there was an option to switch from the standard single paypal logo to one that includes cc logos by adjusting the MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_MARK_BUTTON_IMG field in case you're interested.

Re: How to change the PAYPAL payment button text?

I assume the PayPal.php file? Did you have to upload the new image file?

No, you don't upload any image files. You simply point to the new image you wish to display, from the available choices on PayPal's server, as per the instructions in the language file.

Re: How to change the PAYPAL payment button text?

If you go back to languages/modules/payment/your_template/paypal.php, you'll find

define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_MARK_BUTTON_IMG',

around line 20. Right above this, there are links to other Paypal images. I changed the image that is was to

https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/bnr/h...n_PPeCheck.gif

which gives you the Paypal box with CC logos inside of it. It looks MUCH better than the dinky little Paypal logo that is there originally.
