Need to remove yellow Express Checkout button!

I want to remove the yellow PayPal Express Checkout button from the Shopping Cart page. How can I do that?
thanks

EDIT: Forgot to say, don't mention turning off Express Checkout module and use IPN. I need to use Express Checkout but don't want that button.

OK I solved the problem. I swapped that image for a 1px X 1px transparent GIF. Now it's invisible and un-clickable. For customers to pay with Paypal, they have to continue on the Zen-cart checkout process. Then they have the option to pay with CC or PP. But since it's Express Checkout instead of IPN, once they're done paying on the PP website, they get auto-returned to my site, thus eliminating the "stuck paypal" order problem.

Re: Need to remove yellow Express Checkout button!

The fact that you can do that to the code is NOT the problem - READ THE PAYPAL TOS and integration rules for PayPal Express.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Re: Need to remove yellow Express Checkout button!

PayPal's approach to a TOS is called a Legal Agreement. The Legal Agreement encompasses many other agreements.
When you applied for Website Payments Pro you agreed to PayPal's standards. One of these agreements for using the Express Checkout can be found at this link.

Re: Need to remove yellow Express Checkout button!

Yeah, I had read that doc. It says that the button should be before the checkout process begins.
I never applied for WPP.

Re: Need to remove yellow Express Checkout button!

the expres button MUST be before the customer enters any information,

I believe its on page 19 of the TOS

its designed so that clients DONT have to enter information on your site

Yep
PayPal Website Payments Pro Integration Guide

If it came down to convincing PayPal of your definition of "should", "shall", and "must" means can you win? We are just saying because you are purchasing a service from PayPal you need to follow there rules.

Re: Need to remove yellow Express Checkout button!

IF you are using PayPal - i.e. have a PayPal account, then you have already agreed to follow their rules no matter which of their products you are using.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Re: Need to remove yellow Express Checkout button!

Then why have you installed PayPal Express? It will not work without having a PayPal account plus a Payments Pro contract.

That's not true. Perhaps you should research a little.

Re: Need to remove yellow Express Checkout button!

express will work without a pro contract.

pro requires express,

but if you look through that integration guide you will see that it cleary states that the express button MUST be presented to a customer before they are required to enter ANY personal information on your site,
this is a convenience for paypal customers hence the term Express.

Makes sense. But what I don't understand is, why is there a problem if I'm not using Express Checkout at all?

Re: Need to remove yellow Express Checkout button!

If you aren't using it then JUST TURN IT OFF and you won't have a big orange button.
