Default Payment Type

[Katrina Morris]

Is there a way to set the payment dropdown to a default value? Ours is
defaulting to Purchase Order and it is confusing some people.

Also, is there a way to have a box pop up after an item is added to the cart
that says something like "10 Widgets were added to your cart for $1.00 ea"?

Thanks,

Katrina

Katrina,

The default payment option on your shopping cart is 'Please Choose a
Payment Option'. The only way Purchase Order would be a default is if
the shopper had selected Purchase Order and then went to the checkout
screen at some point. The last payment option selected will be saved in
a cookie. So you probably placed a test order using the Purchase Option
payment type, which is why that is the default for you. If you want to
see the default default, clear your cookies and add an item to the
shopping cart as if you were a first time shopper.

As far as the pop-up goes when adding an item to the cart, I suppose if
you knew JavaScript well enough you could modify the mini-cart
JavaScript. I would suggest using a JavaScript alert rather than opening
an actual new window, because many browsers and browser add-ons these
days are blocking JavaScript pop-up windows, but I don't think the
alerts are treated the same.
