How to stop Buy Now from appearing

Hi @alphaexcapital

Just to make sure I’m understanding your question correctly, do you only want to keep these PayPal buttons?

Can you send us the screenshot of how your checkout page looks without the custom CSS to hide the buy now or order now button? Do you have any other payment methods available on your site other than PayPal Checkout?

Thanks!

Hello,

1 – No I dont have any other payment providers activated, just PayPal Checkout.

2 – Yes I want to keep the buttons.

Here is the output:

3 – I have hidden “wc_payment_methods payment_methods methods”, which is fine.

But it flash loads this class “woocommerce_checkout_place_order”, as I want it hidden/disabled.

Below is the full class.

<button type="submit" class="button alt" name="woocommerce_checkout_place_order" id="place_order" value="Buy Now" data-value="Buy Now" style="">Buy Now</button>

Is it just a hook I can remove?

HI there!

Can you please send us a screenshot showing the buttons that you hid, just so we are on the same page.

Also, Could you please share a copy of your site’s System Status? You can find it via WooCommerce > Status. Select “Get system report” and then “Copy for support”.? Once you’ve done that, paste it here in your response.

Hi there, it is here:

This should be a feature to unset from the checkout, right?

Hi there!

The button you are referring to is the PayPal Credit button, which you can disable per https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/paypal-express-checkout/#section-8

We also encourage you to update to our new PayPal Payments, as mentioned at the top of https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/paypal-express-checkout/

Hope this helps!

Hello,

I’m afraid it’s not as it is disabled in the settings as we are not set up for that with PayPal yet.

Please look at the big green button. That is the problem I am having with, not the PayPal plugin.

Please look at this image:

I do not want to load the big green button at all, hence asking about unsetting it.

I have display:none through CSS that works BUT it loads first then hides, which looks unclean.

Hi there,

It seems this is the default WooCommerce button, although as PayPal Checkout is selected, this button shouldn’t show by default. I did a test on my site but couldn’t replicate what you see: https://d.pr/i/Jk9rjM

Can you try a conflict test with only WooCommerce and PayPal checkout enabled to see if the button is still visible? Here’s the instruction: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/

Hello, with both plugins only activated it didnt have an impact.

Here are two videos showing the exact same with and without plugins.

As you can see, they both do the same flicker before the css kicks in to display:none it.

Hi @alphaexcapital

The filter for the order button HTML can be found at woocommerce_order_button_html

Removing the button comletely can be done as follows:

add_filter('woocommerce_order_button_html', 'remove_order_button_html' );
function remove_order_button_html( $button ) {
   
    //we remove the button
    $button = '';

    return $button;
}

Alternatively, you can add conditions, making the button available for specific products. The above snippet can be added using a plugin such as Code Snippets, or in the functions.php file of your child theme.

Perfect, works a treat! Thanks a lot!
