Force Default Payment Method

I have searched, and I have switched the plugin position of the Square payment method, but even after clearing the cache, logging out and back in to the site, my Square payment method will not show as the default for the site. It continues to show PayPal as the default and I cannot make it change.

Any suggestions?

Plugin Position


Checkout Position & Default Shown

Hi,

The payment method will be taken into account. The first one in the list will be selected automatically.
Note however that the selected payment method is linked to the cart.
So once a payment method has been selected for a cart, even if you change the order of the payment methods, you won't see the other one being selected unless you delete your cart.
So to make sure that it works, just try on another browser with a new cart and a new user account and you'll have the correct pre selected one.

I just tried another browser, still shows PayPal as the default. So I cleared cache on the site and on the host, still shows PayPal as the default.

Please see the attached screen shots...have I done something wrong?

Hi,

I checked the situation and that's normal.
That's because you've limited the Square payment method to a zone.
Because of that, the payment method is not available before the user has logged in and entered his address.
So the moment he adds a product in the cart, the available payment methods are loaded and the first one is selected. And since at that point only PayPal is available, it is selected as default.
To avoid that, what you can do is set the "access level" of both your payment methods to "registered". That way, before the user logs in, no payment method will be available and thus no payment method will be preselected. And then, after the user logs in with an address in the USA, both payment methods will be available and the first one will be selected.

That worked! Thank you very much sir!

Nicolas...slight issue, please see the attached screen shot. When activating the "registered" setting on the payment options, now I have errors on my dashboard. Please see the red highlighted errors as shown.

How can I resolve this?

Ok...ignore that. It seems to be a scripting error caused by some crash at Google from what I'm reading, and my sales chart (the top one) is already back online. Just bad timing that it went down when I changed those settings.

I do have a question. Please see the attached screen shot. Is this warning at the top a potential issue?

Hi,

It seems that you set the "access" of the square and paypal plugins to "registered" instead of using the "access level" setting of the square and paypal payment methods as I had recommended.
If you do it with the access setting of the plugins, PayPal won't load the plugins when the payment notification is received and thus, your orders won't be confirmed automatically. And that's why you get that warning message.
So please revert that setting to "public".
Instead, you need to use the "access level" setting in the payment methods. Please note that this setting is only available with HikaShop Business.

Ah ok sorry for my confusion on the levels...

The other issue I'm having, with those red highlighted items that I initially thought were caused by a Google outage from what I found last night are still persistent. Further searching seems to be a JavaScript issue. Any thoughts on those as both are now happening again on my site, but at one point the Orders area did show up again but disappeared this morning and is showing the error again.

Hi,

We fixed that yesterday:

Fantastic...thank you. Guess I didn't search far enough.

I'll get the new one downloaded & update the site tonight.

Nicolas...that worked, the errors are gone...but there is 1 display issue. Please see the attached image.

When selecting filtering options for the orders, the box is slim and stretched vertically rather than horizontally. I tried both full screen and mobile sized windows. The mobile sized window, the option box switched to horizontal...but at a certain point when you stretch the browner window to a wider screen...that option box switched to vertical like as shown.

Hello,

Thanks for your return, this will allow us to correct on backend file css for our futur release.
On your side, we will show you how to correct this point, follow me step by step :
1. Have a look on this tutorial to see how to edit the css file, but take care to edit the Back-end Css file.

2. And add at the end of your file this command :
Note : that here the "!important" is unfortunately required in order to override the chosen dropdown inline css.
Hope this will fix your issue.

Hello Philip...that worked well, thank you very much sir.
