Checkout via Paypal and directly to credit card.

[heyday]

How can I configure the Checkout, so that I get to the Paypal Payment Page in the Creditcard section?

VM 2.6.12.2
Joomla! 2.5.27

afaik u can't

if PP knows you have an account (as buyer  - by cookie) it won't in my experience offer the CC option (this is the std. Paypal method)

[jenkinhill]

The PayPal Express plugin from http://plugins.online-store.co.uk/  has a setting to try to enforce PayPal to open at the card entry page, although this facility is not available in all countries. But as GJC says, if the shopper already has an account then they will be forced to go to the standard PP page.

Thx a lot for the reply! Will try it and report about the results.

Hi,

There was previously a hack for VM 2.0X that was allowing to force the credit card tab to stay open (enclosed).

>> I only have this Paypal solution and I see sheer difference of sales drop when this credit card tab is not opened.


I do not have the expertise to adapt it to our fantastic 2.6.14 version.

Can someone check it to see if it complicated to do it?

Thanks a lot

Chris

Hello  Xris75

i have checked your paypal file.
You have 2 extra parameters : solution_type and landing_page

Code Select Expand

$html .='<input type="hidden" name="solution_type" value="Sole"/>';
$html .='<input type="hidden" name="landing_page" value="Billing"/>';

but Paypal do not have those parameters for the paypal standard

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/

i don't know how that code worked.

Hello

you can try to add those parameters in function preparePost (file plugins/vmpayment/paypal/paypal/helpers/paypalstd.php)
$post_variables['solution_type'] = 'Sole';
$post_variables['landing_page'] = 'Billing';

Thanks to Alatak this is the solution :


In the file plugins/vmpayment/paypal/paypal/helpers/paypalstd.php

> line 58 add in function preparePost

Code Select Expand

$post_variables['solution_type'] = 'Sole';$post_variables['landing_page'] = 'Billing';


> line 199 of the same document under the line

Code Select Expand

$html .= '<input type="hidden" name="charset" value="utf-8">';


add these 2 lines :   

Code Select Expand

$html .='<input type="hidden" name="solution_type" value="Sole"/>';
$html .='<input type="hidden" name="landing_page" value="Billing"/>';


Tested on my site www.sawtay.fr
Works like a charm !!!


Thanks Alatak !
