No problem, and the plugin is still working fine, taken plenty of payments without a hitch…..

Well, i can confirm the code is working, on the http version after just over a day on both my merchant accounts I’ve dropped from 100% with missing microdata to 21% and 14% respectively. I expect them to fall further soon ??

Ha, in this instance I’m not too worried about elegance ??

Larsbuur, you are THE MAN!
Added the code and the condition is showing as New in Google Structured Data Testing Tool.
I’ll keep a store of the code for the next updates until Woo sort out this issue, I have NO IDEA why they would not have already addressed this issue.
Much appreciated, this has been doing my nut in!

Hello all, I’ve been trying to add the code to lines 80 – 81:

<meta itemprop=”url” content=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>” />
<meta itemprop=”itemCondition” content=”https://schema.org/NewCondition” />

on “content-single-product.php” and am having no success at all in addressing the issue at hand (which is getting an error for “Missing microdata for condition” from the Google Merchant Centre).

Tried adding it elsewhere in the same php file, just can’t seem to get the desired effect.

Maybe the file has been updated or something, I think Woo has recently been updated, any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Regards

Paul

Hi Mike, saw your comment and was to be fair dubious. However I disabled my W3 Total Cache plugin and problem disappeared. Re-enabled it came back. Tried clearing cache etc but same issue always reoccurs with plugin enabled, disappears when disabled.
Weird it started to be an issue all of a sudden, I’m unaware of any changes I’ve made personally.
Ah well it can stay disabled unless you have any suggestions for a workaround?
Thanks for the advice regardless.
Cheers

Actually – sorted! Added the prefix in Woo Commerce and bingo!
Cheers

Hi Angeleye, can you be a little more specific in how I add an invoice prefix? I havent done that before and it hasn’t been an issue. A real head scratcher!

Paul

Hi, it works! Hey thank you sooo much for that, you sir are a star!
as a bit of a novice it’s a bit beyond me to fix myself ??

hmmm, i’d like to be able to do this too. i’ve been trawling through previous answers but am still a bit unsure. the font in the plugin’s standard format is tiny.
apart from this small issue the plugin is great.
personally i’d just be happy to have an option to increase the font size without messing with designing css, its a bit beyond my skills ??
i have a custom css stylesheet i can add to, anyone up for supplying the code to insert in there to increase the fonts on the invoice and delivery note template by say 20%?
cheers

paul

sorted! already managed to work it out but your solution is good….
i added the ip addresses of the merchant account to the white list and all is well.
cheers

Hi Andrew yes, weird. That last email I sent you, should I post it here too or do you want to respond via email?
Cheers

For the benefit of anyone looking for the answer to my question this is angeleye’s response;

In answer to your question, as it stands now there is no way to disable the Express Checkout button on the cart page unless you go in and customize the plugin code. I have added this to my list for the 1.1.5 update which should be done in a 2 or 3 weeks. If you can’t wait that long and you aren’t comfortable with customizing the plugin yourself you could purchase premium support and I can do it for you. Again, though, with the next update you’ll be able to do this from the settings panel just like you can with product pages and the cart page.

On a separate note, I’d like to provide some feedback to what you mentioned about the reasons you’d like to remove the button from the cart page.

First, I highly doubt you’ll be saving any money steering people towards credit cards. I’ve worked very closely with numerous credit card merchant providers over the past 8 years with my USBSwiper company. We’ve done a lot of research over the years and negotiated with merchant account providers to provide the lowest rates we can, and NONE of them will go lower than PayPal for keyed transactions on a website.

You have to be careful with merchant providers advertising low, teaser rates. They will often display rates of 1% or lower, but that is only for what they call “qualified transactions.” What makes a card qualified is typically when it is physically swiped at the point of sale. “mid-qual” or “non-qual” cards generally fall in the 2% – 5% range, or sometimes even higher. You never really know what you’re going to get charged for a transaction until you get your statement as all card types come with different rates. For example, rewards cards with points/mileage are going to cost you more to accept than a personal debit card.

Keyed cards are never qualified, and the industry avg. seems to be right around 2.2% – 2.5% for keyed cards on a website.

PayPal does things a little differently, where they give you a flat rate based on your volume. If you’re doing $3k – $10k / mo in volume you’ll get 2.5%. If you’re doing $10k – $100k you’ll get 2.2%.

So again, I highly doubt you’ll be saving money by steering people towards credit cards instead of PayPal, and in fact the opposite may very well end up being true.

If you do happen to have a merchant provider offering you lower rates for keyed website transactions I would LOVE to know who they are.

Outside of the transaction fee rates, it has also been proven by extensive studies over the years that providing PayPal options from product pages, cart pages, etc. greatly increases conversion rates on your website. It allows people to skip filling out checkout forms and they can be done with checkout in a matter of seconds.

I’m a perfect example. When I’m shopping online and I’m ready to buy, if I have to get up and go get my credit card…well, I usually don’t. I’ll say “eh, I’ll do it later.” Sometimes I do sometimes I don’t. Many times I end up finding the same product from somebody else who does allow me to use PayPal. It’s more secure for me as a buyer, and it’s a heck of a lot quicker.

So, my professional opinion having dealt with PayPal and online payments for the past 15+ years, and working directly with credit card merchant providers for the past 8+ years, is that you should leave the PayPal Express Checkout buttons enabled throughout the site.

Of course, your experience and opinion may very well be different and that’s perfectly fine. As I mentioned, I’ll add the option to remove the EC button from the cart page in the next update, or you could get premium support if you’d rather have me customize your plugin for you.

Thanks….

Hi the response isnt on the forum here and it did not arrive in my inbox either?

Not sure why but my post has been marked as resolved? still hoping for a solution to the issue?
