We have just found an issue with our store configuration and can not find an appropriate configuration option in the Shopware settings (v 4.2.1). We have only a single payment method enabled (Zahlung (by Sage Pay) using a Sagepay plugin from nfx:MEDIA). The problem arises during the checkout process when the customer gets to the page where the payment methods are listed as a radio list of our single payment option - and this option isn’t pre-selected. If the customer ignores that payment methods list and leaves the payment method unchecked, they are still able to complete checkout and the order is logged as „Prepayment“ in the administration. I would like to stop this happening as we only want to process card orders with SagePay but I can not see any settings that will impact this. As far as I understand it, I need to assign a default payment methods to be used somewhere or I need to force the radio button to be enabled within the code? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Steven ---

You should find these settings in the backend: Configuration\>Basic settings\>Frontend\>Login/registration Make sure to set the Standard payment method (line 2) as well as the Default payment method (line 8) Cheers, Christian ---

Hi Christian, Thanks for pointing that setting out - I didn’t even take a look in the Login/Registration configuration settings! It didn’t seem to be the appropriate configuration group. Thanks for your time 🙂 Steven
