Prestashop: By default, select the payment method if only one available

[rbuelund]

Note: improvement description edited by Louise B. on October 14th

Is your feature request related to a problem?

As you see in the attached image, the payment method is not elected as default and the customer has to make two ticks to continue - annoying!

Describe the solution you'd like:

It would be really nice if, when a shop has only one payment method activated, this payment method could be selected by default at checkout.

Hi @rbuelund,

Thanks for your report.
@marionf, what do you think?
It could be an improvement just by adding a Default Payment method, so when there is one payment method, it will be always selected.
Like the carriers, what do you think?
Thanks!

[rbuelund]

Yes exactly - but would each payment method then have to be modified to achieve this ? Bambora is a payment module I have installed.

[khouloudbelguith]

@rbuelund, no I don't think that each payment method has to be modified to achieve this, it is an improvement on the core of PrestaShop.
Thanks!

[rbuelund]

Is it in any way possible to do this as a hack, so that I can change it manually now ?

[khouloudbelguith]

@rbuelund, this improvement should be specified by our developers before.
Thanks!

Hi @rbuelund
Thanks for this idea !
If we have one payment method it will be automatically selected.
We will work on it.

This little piece of code works like a charm

jQuery(window).load(function(){ $('#payment-option-2').prop('checked', true); });

Set #payment-option-2 as checked by default even its not first in position.

In this example #payment-option-5 was checked by default (paysafecard)

So @rbuelund use this

jQuery(window).load(function(){ $('#payment-option-1').prop('checked', true); }); in Your template assets/js/custom.js file :)

Perfect solution! Thanks :-)

@PrestaShark

Thanks for diving into this!

Would you be willing to make a pull request on GitHub with your code suggestion?

Thank you!

[rbuelund]

But this solution cannot be added to the code as it has to be set manual to the correct payment method ??

Hi,
I tried out this JS snippet in the document.ready function:
$('#payment-option-1').click();
This alwas shows the 1. payment method selected and the corresponding option box too.
Should be perfect to set the preselcted payment method in the core configs?
Best regards

+1, I think this "default method selection" should have been in PS core since long time ago :-)

@PrestaShark but this walkthrough does not display an additional description of the payment method, it is exactly the same if you added {if $ option.id == 'payment-option-1'} checked {/ if} in payment.tpl - this is not the right solution.

this is a bug in Prestashop with $selected_payment_option - when will it finally be solved @khouloudbelguith?

[patrickmyh]

@futurowebpl if you fire a click event on the input field it'll work, that's what I ended up doing.

hey @LouiseBonnard are you planning to work on this or I can do it?

[LouiseBonnard]

Hi @kpodemski! Please go ahead if you want to work on it. ;-)

Here is the related functional specification, feel free to review it: https://github.com/PrestaShop/prestashop-specs/pull/156

@kpodemski I did it, feel free to review it, not sure counting the array is the best solution thought but it looks fine to me
