How can I configure my site to use Paypal for non-restricted items?

I have an Outdoor Sporting goods store. Paypal does not allow you to use them for gun parts and ammo. How can I set up my site to allow customers to purchase non-restricted items with paypal and use a credit card processing service for the restricted stuff?
Thanks for any help!

Take a bit of coding... I don't have the answers out-of-the-box, but some questions to answer that would help someone help you would be: how do you want the store to respond if there is a mix of goods in the cart? Should the alternative method remain available if none of the goods are "controlled"? May also help to identify which version of PayPal is being used, though the right solution there is to apply the fix to all of them.

What is your factor for a product needing to not be purchaseable via PayPal? Is it only select product? Items in a category? Could they be linked to a category?

You'll need a filter that simply allows paypal when non restricted products are in the cart and prevents it when restricted. Do you want credit card processing available for both conditions?

I have a credit card processing service set up also... so credit card processing for both conditions is fine...customers choice of whch to use. I just need the filter you are talking about that prevents someone from using paypal for the restricted items.

Great! So are you using any custom code or plugin that determines that a product is restricted or not-restricted?

No, wasnt sure how to proceed when I was contacted by paypal yesterday. I don't have any code set up now.

Okay so ***you ***want:

• a restricted on/off switch on every product
• shopping cart code to see the switch
• payment module filter to decide if any *restricted *items exist in the shopping cart and allow the applicable payment option

And ***I ***like donations ;)

Are there any other conditions related to the products you are selling that would become *requirements *for **lawful **sales that we should include while developing this package?

the purchasers of the restricted items must be 18 or older and thats it

Do you have a module running to restrict access right from the index page as I've seen on similar sites or is this a new install/site?

I don't have any kind of module that I know of. It is a new site. The address is http://www.capefearoutfitting.com
