Remove/change "PayPal Acceptance Mark" on PayPal Checkout (Woo v2.2.5)

For the PayPal payment gateway, some icons are used;
most of which are linked from official PayPal site acording to the website’s country of origin:

https://www.paypalobjects.com/es_XC/Marketing/i/banner/paypal_debit_card_275x60.gif
https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_TW/mktg/logos/AM_mc_vs_dc_ae.jpg
https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/ru_RU/mktg/business/pages/logo-center/AM_mc_vs_dc_ae.jpg

otherwise it uses the logo provided in the directory:
..woocommerce/includes/gateways/paypal/assets/images/paypal.png

Maybe you can edit those lines…

Thanks for the reply Manus! My site is showing this one:

https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/mktg/logo/AM_mc_vs_dc_ae.jpg

Obviously I cannot change the image that’s hosted on paypalobjects.com…do you know what code I would need to edit to change this image on my site?

Try looking at
…./woocommerce/includes/gateways/paypal/class-wc-gateway-paypal.php

There is a

public function get_icon()

function inside where it takes those links for the icons…

Thank you! This is what I was looking for! Now I’m trying to override this file within my child theme, but its not working. Do you know if its possible to override includes files within a child theme? Otherwise how could I change these files without editing the core files?

Or could I add this to the functions.php file in my child theme?

/**
	 * get_icon function.
	 *
	 * @return string
	 */
	public function get_icon() {
		$link = null;

		return apply_filters( 'woocommerce_gateway_icon', $icon_html . $what_is_paypal, $this->id );
	}

This is what we need to solve this issue. Hope it will help someone:

function newPayment_gateway_icon( $icon, $id ) {
    if ( $id === 'paypal' ) {
        return '<img src="' . get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/paypal.png" alt="PayPal" />';
    } else {
        return $icon;
    }
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_gateway_icon', 'newPayment_gateway_icon', 10, 2 );
