we are using Magento with some Extensions, one of it is Paypalplus and it is essential.
Now we want to sell gift-coupons, which is explicitely forbidden by Paypal. So we need to deactivate Paypayplus, or at least some of its Payment Methods.
We tried first to deactivate it completely which results in a broken Javascript and the order is refused by Magento. It seems that if PPP is activated, the other built-in methods doesnt load their Js and instead try to use PPP-Js, which isnt loaded, when a gift-coupon exists in the cart.
Then i tried to deactivate the forbidden payment methods using its own Js, where it renders all the methods by itself.
window.ppp = PAYPAL.apps.PPP({ ... })
This should set up the PPP Js. But i dont know wether it is possible nor which argument to be passed in the Object, to partially or fully deactivate its own payment-methods. Can anyone tell me that. I search for some time now, but im not able to find a documentation about this API.
Here is the complete Code that should render PPP, contained in the Magento PPP-Extension:
<div id="ppplus"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(typeof payment == 'undefined') {
var payment = {};
}
function selectMethod(code) {
try {
if(typeof awOSCPayment != "undefined") {
awOSCPayment.currentMethod = code;
}
} catch (e) {
}
document.getElementById('p_method_' + code).click();
}
window.externMethodEnabled = false;
window.startPPP = function () {
if(typeof window.thirdPartyObject == 'undefined') {
window.thirdPartyObject = <?php echo $this->getThirdPartyJsonObject(); ?>;
window.thirdPartyMethodObject = <?php echo $this->getThirdPartyMethodJsonObject(); ?>;
}

Thank you for your attention.
Okay, we found out, that there is no argument to pass to partially disable payment-methods. I found another way to diasble the the hard way. The Argument onLoad takes a function which is called when the iframe is ready. We manually remove the payment method by removing them from the iframes DOM, whenever a gift-coupon is in the cart. This is not an optimal solution, but it works.
Hope to see, that Paypal extends their API, to give devs more control.
