Directing Zencart Checkout button to Paypal

Hello all this is my first post of hopefuly many to come :smile:

I'm currently working on getting my online business integrated with paypal. I have successfuly attached the paypal check out button and its working, however the zencart check out button is still on and non working.

I would like to either turn the zencart check out button off OR have it direct to the paypal check out process.

Could anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

I would like to either turn the zencart check out button off OR have it direct to the paypal check out process.

Explain more?

Ok at the end of the check out process, I currently have the option to check out with the zencart "check out" button or the paypal "check out button" like so:

So as of right now the zencart check out button is not working so if the customer tries to use that it will get them no where. So I either want to disable this button or have it link up to the PayPal check out process.

Is there a way to do this?

What have you done to break the checkout? You must have the regular checkout available.

Zen Cart automatically takes a customer to PayPal to complete their payment if they've selected PayPal as their payment choice during the normal checkout process.

If you've busted that process via customizing the checkout then you have three options:

1. undo what you've done to break it
2. rebuild the normal infrastructure to work as expected
3. don't use PayPal

If you were to install a fresh copy of Zen Cart, then turn on and configure one of the PayPal payment modules, you'd be able to immediately take orders and have customers paying with PayPal. It's all built-in and straightforward. I'm not sure why you'd change it.

Well, I didn't do anything to break it just never worked after you do the whole check out deal it ends with this error :

How can I enable this to take to paypal?? Not accepting payment method??

Its all turned on the Admin on zencart

Aha -- always best to start with root cause.

When you set up your PayPal module in the admin, what "Zone" did you associate with it ?
Try setting it to -None-

Thanks DrByte, :clap:that made the check out button work and take me to paypal, but now I'm getting the following error at the end of check out after credit card info and everything else:

Could it be that I'm missing some patches? how do you apply patches?

Are you using version 1.3.7?

Yes, I'm using version 1.3.7 patch level 1.3.7

v1.3.7.1 has the patches built-in.
Or you could apply the most recent patches yourself:
