Replace Zen Cart's PayPal Graphics?

My question is actually regarding Website Payments Standard, but the existing PayPal forums are two only: Express and Pro. So, since I believe that my problem exists for the Express, too, but not for the Pro, I am asking my question here. I hope this is OK.

So, here goes:

I configured PayPal Website Payments Standard in my Zen Cart, tested it - and it works beautifully.

However, what the customer sees for payment methods, when checking out, is this:

Meaning, for PayPal, the unknowledgeable customer might think that if s/he has no PayPal account, s/he cannot pay... which is of course not true, because PayPal Website Payments Standard provides the ability to pay by credit card, even if one doesn't have a PayPal account.

So, I would like to replace that PayPal graphic with something like this:

Is this possible?

If so, how do I accomplish that?

Thanks,
Daniel

Re: Replace Zen Cart's PayPal Graphics?

Ah! I think I am getting there... I grep-ed my entire <zc-home>:

grep -Rn PayPal_mark *

And found out the following:

includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypalwpp.php:95:  define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_MARK_BUTTON_IMG', 'https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/PayPal_mark_37x23.gif');

includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php:17:  // to show the PayPal logo as the payment option name, use this:  https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/PayPal_mark_37x23.gif
includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php:19:  define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_MARK_BUTTON_IMG', 'https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/PayPal_mark_37x23.gif');

I believe that I can replace:

https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/PayPal_mark_37x23.gif
with local graphics I download from:

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/cmd=xpt/cps/general/PayPalNewLogoAnnouncement

Do you foresee any problem with this?

I am going to try this shortly and will report how this goes... :smile:

According to PayPal, you should be linking directly to PayPal's website for the logo you desire, rather than hosting the graphic image yourself.

DrByte:

I checked again and here is what the PayPal link I gave above says:
New PayPal buttons and logos

PayPal has a new logo and is updating checkout buttons and other graphics. We've made it simple for you to update your images so that your customers can continue to enjoy a safer and easier checkout experience.

- >
  • If PayPal hosts your buttons and logos, they have been updated automatically. You don’t need to change them.
  • If you host your own buttons and logos, we recommend you replace them on your site.

The most commonly used graphics are listed below.
My understanding from this is that PayPal gives me the choice as to whether host PayPal's buttons and logos on my server or PayPal's server(s).

If you noticed a clause in PayPal's TOS that contradicts this please provide a link to that web page (or quote it here). I would like to make sure that I am in full compliance with PayPal's TOS before starting to use it for my Zen Cart based web site.

Thanks,
Daniel

Please check with your PayPal representative.

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.

Please check with your PayPal representative.
I checked with my PayPal representative - and this is the reply I received from him:
The graphic may certainly be hosted by yourself and does not require that PayPal remain the host. However, you may wish to verify over time that the graphic has not been changed and requires updating.

I hope this information will be helpful to the rest of the Zen Cart community.
