Setting one checkout payment method as default.

[jmestep]

I've had to re-order the payment methods on the checkout page, but still need to set a method other than the Charge Card method as the default that is checked when a customer first comes to the page. I've spent some time on it, but am still unable to do that. How can I do that? Is it because it's in ajax and I can't get to it?
Thanks

First find out the PaymentMethodId which you want to be selected from database then locate the following lines in the onepagecheckout code

Code: Select all

//MAKE SURE THE CORRECT PAYMENT METHOD IS SELECTED
                int paymentMethodId = AlwaysConvert.ToInt(Request.Form[PaymentMethodList.UniqueID]);

and update them as below

Code: Select all

//MAKE SURE THE CORRECT PAYMENT METHOD IS SELECTED
string val = Request.Form[PaymentMethodList.UniqueID];
                int paymentMethodId = 8;
                if(val != null)
                    paymentMethodId = AlwaysConvert.ToInt(val);

Where 8 was the payment method id of Pay by phone call which i want to be selected by default.
