Make 'Credit Card' the default payment option?


Guest

Recommended Posts

When a customer goes through the check out process, then UPS Ground ends up as the default choice, which is good because that's what 99.99% of my customers want.

 

However when they get to the payment options page, there is no default choice selected. We accept credit cards or cheques, but 99.99% of the customers just want to use a card. Right now, nothing is checked. If the customer fills out the CC info and clicks 'Continue', then they always get a warning pop-up that tells them to select a payment type ...confusing at best. I've had customers call and complain (obviously illiterate I guess) that the 'system kicked them out' ...which when going through it together, was nothing more than an ill response to the 'Select a payment method' warning box. They fill out CC info and feel they've done the right thing.

 

So, how can I make the CC payment method the default??? Am I missing something obvious here? Hoping for an answer before I go digging through code ...didn't see anything obvious on the Admin pages...

 

Thanks,

Brian :unsure:

No answer yet, but if the shipping page can have multiple types of shipping and still 'figure out' how do pick a default, then why not the payment page? It confuses my customers. If I don't hear an answer soon, then I'll work on it myself when I get time (which isn't particularly often for code related work.)

I added the following to checkout_payment.php, and got it to work:

 

Before:

<body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0">

 

After:

<body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" onload="java script:document.checkout_payment.payment[0].click();return true;">

 

The above assumes that the Credit Card is the first payment option...
