Prohibited Items (Google Checkout and PayPal)

[calvis]

There is a box in product details to prevent offending products (that are listed in Google Checkout user's agreement) from being purchased via Google Checkout. PayPal has a similar agreement, but I am not seeing anyway to prevent offending products being purchased via PayPal.

How are others handling this?

Thanks

We handled it on one site by making the Paypal payment method not visible if the basket contained a product was checked to not display for Google checkout.

Good idea. But exactly how did you do this? Do you need the source code to do this?

No, we didn't need the source code. I don't remember exactly, but I think I did it on the conlib on the basket page where the paypal express and google checkout button display.

Edit Website/ConLib/PayPalExpressCheckoutButton.ascx.cs and then locate following code

Code: Select all

 // FIND THE PAYPAL GATEWAY
 PayPalProvider provider = StoreDataHelper.GetPayPalProvider();

and update it like

Code: Select all

Basket basket = Token.Instance.User.Basket;
foreach (BasketItem item in basket.Items)
{
            if (item.OrderItemType == OrderItemType.Product)
                {
                    if (item.Product.IsProhibited)
                    {
                        this.Visible = false;
                        return;
                    }
         }        
}
// FIND THE PAYPAL GATEWAY
PayPalProvider provider = StoreDataHelper.GetPayPalProvider();

Hopefully that will do the trick

thanks. . but will this take PayPal out the "Payment Method" options on the Checkout page?

Is "PayPal Express" the one where the user is taken directly to paypal without having to
enter their billing/shipping address at the store?

I think I'm using the regular paypal where the user fills out billing/shipping and then
is sent to paypal.

Well if you want to take away it from payment methods as well then you need to do the same in Website/Checkout/PaymentMethodForms/PayPalPaymentForm.ascx.cs file.
