How to Remove "What is PayPal?" from PayPal option on checkout

Question

I have set-up PayPal as an option on my store. And by default on the payment option selection page next to the PayPal logo there is text stating "What is PayPal?" that links to the PayPal website.

I was wondering how I would remove the text and link.

Answer 1

You can do it from this template file :

/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/paypal/payment/mark.phtml

Both paypal logo and text "What is Paypal" is coded in this file.

Ideally you should copy this file with same path in your theme and modify this file according to requirements.

Like if your theme is :

/app/design/frontend/default/mytheme

Then in its template folder create same path as "paypal/payment" and put modified mark.phtml here(If the path and file is already here you can directly modify it).

Answer 2

Instead of changing the mark.phtml file, I prerer to avoid displaying that file.

I copied the block app\code\core\Mage\Paypal\Block\Standard\Form.php to my local (app\code\local\...) and changed

protected function _construct()
{
    $this->_config = Mage::getModel('paypal/config')->setMethod($this->getMethodCode());
    $locale = Mage::app()->getLocale();
    $mark = Mage::getConfig()->getBlockClassName('core/template');
    $mark = new $mark;
    $mark->setTemplate('paypal/payment/mark.phtml')
        ->setPaymentAcceptanceMarkHref($this->_config->getPaymentMarkWhatIsPaypalUrl($locale))
        ->setPaymentAcceptanceMarkSrc($this->_config->getPaymentMarkImageUrl($locale->getLocaleCode()))
    ; // known issue: code above will render only static mark image
    $this->setTemplate('paypal/payment/redirect.phtml')
        ->setRedirectMessage(
            Mage::helper('paypal')->__('You will be redirected to the PayPal website when you place an order.')
        )
        ->setMethodTitle('') // Output PayPal mark, omit title
        ->setMethodLabelAfterHtml($mark->toHtml())
    ;
    return parent::_construct();
}

to

... the same
...
    $this->setTemplate('paypal/payment/redirect.phtml')
        ->setRedirectMessage(
            Mage::helper('paypal')->__('You will be redirected to the PayPal website when you place an order.')
        )
        ->setMethodTitle('Paypal (my title)');
    return parent::_construct();
}

adding my custom title and removing the mark file.
