Default Skip directly to payment with PWA and PayPal

Would like to skip directly to the payment screen instead of the order info screen where the buyer must enter name, address, etc. when using PWA.

At the present time, PayPal is the only payment method I am using, and there is no need to gather shipping information, PayPal will send it to me. How and what can I modify to skip directly to payment when the buyer chooses "proceed directly to checkout"?

I tried changing: tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT to tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT in the login_pwa.php file, but that didn't work. With that change, clicking on the checkout button just reloads the login page rather than loading checkout_payment.php.

Any suggestions on shere to look and what to do would be appreciated.

I don't know how to do that, but is it very important? I don't think you are going to lose orders over that. I have liked getting the customer's contact information, as sometimes the customer won't provide their address to Paypal. I have had that happen to me, but luckily I had it stored inside my admin section so it was no big deal.

You are right, it is no big deal, but would make the process cleaner. If the customer already has a PayPal account, filling in that information at this step is just a waste of time. The information is not saved by the store, and PayPal already has the information. If the customer doesn't have a PayPal account, they will have to enter the info twice, once at the store and again when they apply for their PayPal account. Some people might become frustrated with this redundency and quit without buying.

If there was an easy way to skip that screen, it would clean up the process, but probably not worth writing a bunch of code for.
