use credit card as default setting as payment method?

Hi,

I know this must be easy, but not able to find the place to activate this.

I would like the radio button at credit card to be checked, when a customer is presented with my payment methods in step 2 of the order process. I have 3 different methods (credit cards, paypal IPN and paypal express). Please help

Keep in mind that starting in v1.3.7, as soon as the customer clicks inside a credit-card-number field to start typing their CC number, the radio button will be auto-selected.
Perhaps you don't need to make an edit after all ?

That's not really intuitive to the user though is it? Nor is it what people have asked for, which is that a payment method (doesn't have to be cc) can be pre-selected as the default.

May I suggest that the dev team incorporate this code to the core?

Re: use credit card as default setting as payment method?

If I entered all my credit card info to fail on forgetting to check the radio button I'd be very unhappy ... :cry:

The new feature ensures that this does not happen, I believe is the point DrByte is making ...

We will look into defaults on payment modules ... problem is ... let's add in a few zones to enable and disable them ... now who's the default? :eek:

As far as I understand it, the code from the post above merely pre-selects the first displayed payment option by sort order, so if a payment option is not available for a zone then it wouldn't be displayed - would it?

Not sure ... I haven't tried it ...

Be sure to test with changing addresses that would cause the previously selected payment module to vanish and does it re-select the next payment module or does it think that the first one is still selected ...

Yes - it works very well on all the sites my clients run.

If it's not working, then your browser may have javascript disabled or the methodSelect() function might be missing in your /includes/modules/pages/checkout_payment/jscript_main.php file.

Re: use credit card as default setting as payment method?

What payment modules are you using?
What's your site URL ?
