X-Cart forums

Hi,

On my cart page (/x-cart/cart.php), it shows the Checkout, then Google Checkout and PayPal as the fast lane payment methods.

However, if customer clicks Checkout (/x-cart/cart.php?mode=checkout), the Google Checkout option disappears.

Which template do I need to take the Google Checkout option from (I'm assuming cart.tpl) and which template do I need to include it in for it to show as an option when user clicks Checkout?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Are you saying you only use Google Checkout and PayPal as payment options? If so, just comment out the "checkout button" on that page.

Hi -- Won't that *exclude* the PayPal button? What I would like is to include the Google Checkout button as it appears when user clicks the Buy Now button.

I think this is the code:
{if $gcheckout_enabled and $main ne "cart" and $main ne "checkout" and $main ne "anonymous_checkout" and $main ne "order_message"}
<div align="right">{include file="modules/Google_Checkout/gcheckout_button.tpl"}</div>
{/if}

But not sure which tpl it needs to be placed in so that when user goes to /x-cart/cart.php?mode=checkout then the Google Checkout button appears.

Thanks.

No, the regular "checkout" button will disappear.

In the above code "ne" means "not equal" so it will not show the Google checkout button if the page is "cart" or "checkout" so simply adding that will not work.

I have not used either of these methods so I am unsure about how the customer checks out. Does the customer enter the information on their side or yours? from the looks of it, it appears the customer uses their side.

Edit - I went and looked at your site. I would add something like "Money Order - Bank Transfer - Western Union" under the blue "checkout" button, and move it under both the Google and Paypal buttons (if they are your preferred method of payment). Also, remove (comment out) the orange "checkout" button. This way, only people that want to use a money order, bank transfer, and Western Union are likely to click the regular "checkout button. It appears both Google and Paypal require the customer to enter their data, and adding it manually to x-cart by the customer seems unnecessary.
