How to turn off Business Name in payment form

[Allan]

Does anyone know how to turn off the display of the Business Name field on the Payment -- Credit Card area of the check page? We use authorize.net as the payment gateway.

Thanks!

There is currently no way to turn off that field.
You could change the text to say something else if people are getting confused as to what it means. (Preferences > Store Text > Checkout > in the Credit Card Payment section.)

Thanks Jim.

Now I need to know if we can make the email address optional on the checkout page? I see a check-box for that in Commerce Setup / Customize Ordering System / Check Out Screen but I cannot uncheck the "reguired" box on this screen. Any ideas? Thanks!

You can't make the email address not be a required field.

Do you know if we can instruct shoppers without an email to put a word in the email field, like "None" or does the contents have to be an email format?

The input has to be in email address format. I suppose you could make an email alias on your own server that just goes to a junk folder or something (on UNIX servers you can often send email to a certain alias to /dev/null which basically means it goes nowhere) and instruct the shoppers with no email address to input that email address.
