Default Payment Methods

Hi, re www.biggerediamonds4less.co.uk ,

I'm trying to make Worldpay the dafault and auto selected payment method but if I leave the settings to AutoSelect it always selects Paypal. Is there a way to set the default method? I've looked everywqhere and can't find it. For the time being I've set it so that the shopper has to select one of the other. Ideally I'd like our preferred method autoselected.

Hi Nicolas, Thanks for this. I have already done this to change the order of the payment options. However if I let it auto select the default payment option it select Paypal and I need it to select Worldpay.

Hi,

You can edit the view "checkout / payment" to add a condition in the if:

				if(($this->payment_method==$method->payment_type && $this->payment_id==$method->payment_id)|| ($auto_select_default && empty($this->payment_id)&&!$done)){
					$checked = 'checked="checked"';
					$done = true;
				}

$this->payment_name == 'paypal';

Hi, Thanks but I don't get it. I tried adding what you suggested but not sure why I'm doing it. Does it not autoselect the default payment method anyway? I want to make the RBS Worldpay the default method is there an easier way? Before I added Paypal it did indeed autoselect the worldpay! I just need it autoselected and also give the option for PayPal.

Hi, as far as I can see Worldpay is the first one in the ordering in the 'payment methods' menu, although Worldpay is number one it has an ID of 10082 and PayPal at number two has an ID of 10014, does this matter?

Hi Nicolas, please see the picture attached. Worldpay is indeed the first in the ordering!

Hi,

And have you tried to clear the cache ?

Yes and I've done the same on several other PCs without success. I've just tried it on a fresh iPad and it still selects PayPal

Hi Nicolas, I set "Auto select default shipping and payment methods" to YES and cleared the cache PayPal is still selected. Can you try at your end so you can see this yourself? You won't have to buy a Diamond ring!
