Some oddities in the checkout process

There are a few things I'd like to change with the checkout process on my site... but I haven't figured it out yet.

 

in checkout confirmation there is a field that says (credit card issue date)... I've never seen that and want it gone... I dont care when the buyer got their card, as long as it is current now.

there is also a field for Card Issue Number (for Maestro and Solo cards only) so I'd like to remove this field.

 

A customer told me he received an error saying all fields must be completed when at this point. I believe that by removing these fields that dont make since, that error should go away (I'm guessing he left that card issue number field blank)

 

This is from the papal payments pro module by the way. Would I edit these fields somewhere in OsCommerce... or could they even be called from Paypal?? Any ideas?

 

Also...

 

when collecting the checkout shipping address, the fields ask for street address, postal code, then city. I'd rather have it ask for Street Address, City, then postal code.. so just switch the placement of those two fields. Where would I do this at? I looked in checkout_shipping_address.php but couldn't find anything that made enough since to change.

Thanks in advance!

do you mean upon sign up?

you will find this in the relevant files, create_account.php

 

Not sure of the implications on removing required PayPal info.

Depends if its necessary to PayPal or a service to the user (you)

I know exactly what you are talking about. I have thought about removing those too.. they are in the payment_info.php page and they are useless to us americans.. we donthave any of those.

 

I also removed the text that says "Credit Card Securely Processed by PayPal" because that was confusing the customers into thinking BOTH links bring them to paypal.com

 

The text for these files is in catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal

and I believe there is also some text in the english.php file as well...

 

Now, removing the fields themselves is more difficult.. and I forget how i did it.. i can check when I get home and have a look at my own pages.

A great place for newbies to start

Thanks Lindsay... I did change the text to say only "credit and dept card" and I have a field for Paypal.

 

I'd love to see how those fields are removed. I just tried some things... it removed the fields... but then I got the error that said all fields must be completed.... so it looks fine.. but those empty fields are still trying to be passed somewhere. I was editing the catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal_direct.php. I'm not a great (or even good) coder.. so it's possible I missed something easy. But I'll play around some more when I have time also. I'd appreciate your input as well when you have time.

Well, I couldn't figure it out... so I installed a paypal pro module. That took care of the problem! :)
