New "Pay Now" PayPal image

[stuthemoo]

Hi,

 

Is there anyway to use a custom paypal image on my invoices?

Instead of the normal "PayPal PayNow" image?

 

Thanks,

Stuart

I'd like to know how to remove the PayPal button/image from my invoices altogether.

I would like to know the same thing. I espescially would like to remove this image from the complete.tpl file in the templates/default folder.

 

I've tried a whole bunch of times, but I haven't been able to find where WHMCS defines that image.

The image is generated from the paypal gateway module.

It is encoded so you can't change it I'm afraid.

Your not the only one there, If I could I would drop paypal in a heartbeat.

The only problem is that everyone continues to want to use it and if I don't accept it then thats a lost sale.

Only clients that have no merchant experience want paypal (I don't really know why, but many do), however I and all of my staff have learned to hate PayPal It does not matter to me how I pay, as long as its via debit card (wire transfer is out of question, obviously)

See, the problem is that its so easy for people to just register an account, add their credit card, and boom. Now they can buy online.

 

If I don't accept PayPal, it will usually mean a lost sale (as sparky said above). Plus, people like Authorize.net charge an account setup fee and a higher percentage of the transaction.

If you loose a sale because you don't have Paypal then your hosting is not worth to be honest... I would not use Paypal if they payed me.... Wait till they lock your account sometime and then you are screwed, I even know people that had there account terimated with 6 or 7k in it, and it's all lost... Paypal don't give a crap about any seller....

 

 

And don't get me started about the hacks into there system.....

I'd disagree with this, just because you accept PayPal doesn't necessarily degrade the service you offer. As mentioned above, we also use PayPal as a secondary gateway and I would guess we increased our sales by about 10% when we first introduced it.

 

We don't accept PayPal for dedi/VPS orders though...

I think if I site takes Paypal it crys newbie, Now the pro version is a different story, but I would not still use them...

[openmind]

Right ok then, if a site ONLY takes PayPal then you might have a point otherwise the argument is flawed by saying that hosts who accept PayPal don't have a clue otherwise why does our hosting business have a six figure turnover? ;)

[sparky]

Hey... so you think I'm a newbie!! as well as alot of big well respected companies with thousands of client accounts. Dam Matt here at WHMCS must be a newbie as well because he accepts paypal.

 

Its a business decision for making it easier for the client to pay which in turn increases sales.

Nothing to do with being a newbie.

go for viewinvoice.tpl

 

something like this can modify the paypal rendering

$pb=$this->get_template_vars('paymentbutton');

$pattern[0]='%##regular expression for picturelink##%';
$replace[0]='##yourpicturelinksomewhat##';							
$mypb = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $pb);	
$this->assign('mypaymentbutton', $mypb);

 

use {$mypaymentbutton} in viewinvoice.tpl

[mylove4life]

If you use a normal processer than have Paypal added to just cover all the basic's that is different or use Paypal Pro as that is a normal using merchant account. Openmind and Sparky, that's all I'm saying. I used Paypal as everything when I started years ago, and you will get trouble with them when it's your ONLY source of income.....

SOLUTION FOUND:

 

see this post:

http://forum.whmcs.com/showpost.php?p=34005&postcount=8

 

Summarized:

From your templates/xx/viewinvoice.tpl file, you need to REPLACE the following line:

 

{$paymentbutton}

 

With this...

 

{$paymentbutton|replace:'https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/':'http://www.yourdomain.com/images/'}

 

Note that the variable name is paymentbutton, not paybutton.

 

Make sure to upload 2 of your custom images to your images directory named as follows:

 

x-click-but20.gif (PayPal Subscribe button)

x-click-but03.gif (PayPal Check Out button)

 

I tested it and it's working fine.
