In Zencart, if you want to change the design of the button images, you’ll find them in the directory:
includes\templates\template_default\buttons\english\.
If you purchase or download a free zencart template on the internet, you will find them in the directory of your purchased template. Unlike other system, these images are not located under “images” directory. The reason for this setup is that it’s easier for multiple languages can be developed in the future. For example, if you want to add a set of button images in Japanese or Italian, you will just add another directory called “japanese” in parallel with the “english” directory.
In many old ZenCart versions, you’ll find button images in the image folder which can only support English. That’s why I recommend all ZenCart user to upgrade their shopping cart to the latest version or at least a higher version so that it can adapt to the new changes of the IT industry.

We’ve got a few phone calls lately about the issue with PayPal Express. The issue is that when customer clicks on Paypal Express button, it display many lines of warning instead of taking them directly to Paypal page.
The errors:

There’ll be multiple steps to get this fixed. You need to fix the file in the root called “ipn_main_handler.php”. Then in the Modules, you need to repair/add codes in the Payment module. There’re a few files involved such as paypal.php, paypalwpp.php. Then inside this folder includes\modules\payment\paypal, you’ll need to modify these files below. Even though, there’re some minor changes but if you don’t do it, errors still exist.

– ipn_application_top.php
– paypal_admin_notification.php
– paypal_curl.php
– paypal_functions.php
– paypalwpp_admin_notification.php
– tpl_ec_button.php

Then next, in the language pack, select your store’s language (English/Portugese/Japanese…),  then select modules/payment  folder, modify this file paypalwpp.php. You’re done! Errors should disappear and the Paypal Express button should take your customers directly to Paypal page.
