How to Set default payment Gateway Option?

[Karen Clark]

Is there a way to set the first option on the payments drop down to be a certain thing? Right now the default is PayPal but I would like my Authorize.net to appear first, with PayPal and Manual underneath those options. Thanks!

Here is how you can set a payment gateway to be the default one (when you are offering multiple gateway options).

Add the following block of code in your theme’s functions.php file which will set authorize.net as the default selected option:

add_filter('eStore_cart_checkout_default_gateway', 'override_default_gateway');

function override_default_gateway($gateway)

{

$gateway = 'authorize';

return $gateway;

}

Setting Another Payment Gateway as the Default

You can change the word authorize with one of the following to set a different gateway as the default option:

paypal (standard PayPal checkout)

manual (manual checkout)

2co (2checkout)

authorize (standard authorize.net checkout)

gco (Google checkout)

pppro (PayPal Pro checkout)

auth_aim (authorize.net AIM onsite checkout)

ccbill (CCBill checkout)

stripe (Stripe checkout)

stripe_basic (Stripe popup checkout)

Why is there not a simple checkbox option to select a default payment gateway rather than having to edit code?

I have two payment methods – Direct Deposit and PayPal. Direct deposit is displayed as the first choice but I would like PayPal to be displayed first.

If I add the following block of code to my theme’s functions.php filI presume this will be overwritten whenever the theme is updated:

add_filter(‘eStore_cart_checkout_default_gateway’, ‘override_default_gateway’);

function override_default_gateway($gateway)

{

$gateway = ‘authorize’;

return $gateway;

}

Can you please suggest another way to do this? I use Version v7.1.7 of WP eStore.

Thanks

The code has to go someplace. And there is really no place “safe” from being overwritten by updates. That’s why, as a business owner, you need to exercise good configuration management controls. After you make the initial changes, simply make a backup of the file. Whenever you update the theme, which should not be very often, simply compare the 2 files and re-implement the modifications if necessary.

Understandable. Great advice as usual! Thanks very much.

You can create a custom little plugin where you add all your custom tweaks. Since it will be your own little plugin with your tweaks, it will never get overwritten by an update.

Great stuff. It constantly amazes me: no matter how obscure the little detail I want to change to make my business work better, a search of this forum yields a solution a good 80% of the time.

Thanks

Good Morning,

Is there a code to make Strip Basic the default payment method instead of Paypal? I tried “stripe” but that seems to only work with normal stripe.

I also looked in the code, but was not smart enough to find it.

Thanks

Use the following:

stripe_basic
