I have setup Gallery2 with the paypalcheckout module. The system works fine. However, in the Gallery checkout, when you click on "pay by credit card" you get this window:
That window is VERY confusing for people who are unfamiliar with paypal and who simply wont read the small print... What I want to happen, is this page loads up: (it seems to happen randomly by itself occasionally) It makes it a lot clearer and quicker for them to enter their details.....
How can I make the screen come up so they can just enter their payment details straight in rather than getting confused by the "loggon screen"? (and yes, I know there is a little link on the first page, but no one will see it!) |

It probably depends on what paypal cookies are already set on the user's browser. It's not something that anything in the Gallery installation can influence, as far as I would know.
If you want to scour the paypal documentation (Website Payments Standard is the service) and can find anything that will achieve what you want, I'm happy to add it to the module.
My experience doesn't match your assertion that "That window is VERY confusing", though, I suspect most people will head straight for the credit card icons.

Ok, that makes me feel a little stupid... After reading the paypal documents and asking on their comunity forum it appears that Paypal does a cookie check... if you have logged into a paypal account before it directs you to the page with no credit card boxes.... If you have never accessed a paypal account, it will ask for your credit card details..
Clearing the cookies off my test machine seems to prove this is correct!
Thanks for your help!
