Boost conversions and reduce fraud and payment processing fees by displaying only the payment gateways that users trust and are most familiar with.
<hr />
<h2>Conditional payment methods = lower risk, higher sales</h2>
Not all payment gateways are equal. Some work better for fraud reduction, some have lower fees, and some have higher acceptance from customers.
Conditional Payment Methods for WooCommerce adds restriction rules for available payment gateways during checkout. You can hide/show any payment method (including custom payment methods).
Available conditions to restrict payment methods:
<ul>
<li>Billing address (location) – country, state, city, postcode</li>
<li>Shipping address (location) – country, state, city, postcode</li>
<li>User – logged-in or guest</li>
<li>User role – admin, customer, subscriber and more</li>
<li>Customer’s cart subtotal</li>
<li>Product type – virtual, downloadable and any custom product type</li>
<li>Product category</li>
<li>Product visibility – featured, out of stock…</li>
<li>Product tags</li>
<li>Custom product taxonomies like brands (except attributes)</li>
</ul>
Set up all conditions with a simple screen within WooCommerce, so there’s no need to hire a developer or work with custom code.

<h2>Why enable conditional payment methods?</h2>
Quite a few reasons…
<ul>
<li>Show gateways people know and trust: PayPal, Stripe, Square, Authorize.net, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay… when people see them, they feel safe and secure — and don’t abandon their carts.</li>
<li>Local payment methods increase conversion: Offering a payment gateway popular in specific geography significantly increases conversion because it makes potential customers more comfortable. But showing this gateway to all other customers might be confusing and counterproductive. Making it conditional gives you all the benefits without confusion.</li>
<li>Minimize frauds, refunds, and chargebacks: Certain locations have higher fraud rates and some payment methods make it easier for customers to dispute transactions than others, costing you much more than the original order money. Disabling payment methods that are problematic in certain situations can lower your risk.</li>
<li>Lower fees for you: Some gateways charge high fees for international transactions. Using a direct bank transfer may be better for higher-value orders, lowering your costs and increasing your profits.</li>
<li>Choices, but not overwhelm: It makes sense to offer customers different options for payment, but showing them every possible option during checkout can increase confusion — and therefore abandonment. Conditionally showing relevant payment methods (keeping less active payment methods) solves this problem.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>Given that 12% of customers will abandon their cart if the checkout process is too complicated, choosing the wrong payment gateway can hurt your sales numbers – Chris Lema</blockquote>

Conditional Payment Methods

Show or hide payment methods based on the customer’s billing address, shipping address, order total, user role and other product taxonomies. Show Cash on Delivery for low-priced orders, Stripe for subscription products, and more.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Features</h2>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li>Apply a global extra fee across all payment gateways in one step to simplify your checkout fee strategy. Example: Add a 2% processing fee that automatically applies to every payment method without setting them up individually.</li>
<li>Charge fees or offer discounts based on the payment method to balance transaction costs. Example: Charge an extra $0.30 for PayPal payments or offer a 2% discount for Direct Bank Transfers.</li>
<li>
Configure more than one fee for a single payment gateway to cover additional costs. Example: Add a $0.30 fee for processing PayPal payments and an additional 3.9% charge for the order total.
</li>
<li>
Add specific fees for certain product categories or exclude them entirely for others. Example: Apply a 2% fee for electronics and exclude fees for apparel purchases. 
</li>
<li>Apply payment gateway fees conditionally based on the selected shipping method to fine-tune your checkout costs. Example: Add a ₹50 fee for Cash on Delivery only when Flat Rate Shipping is used, and skip it for Free Shipping.</li>
<li>Choose whether fixed product-level fees are charged once or multiplied by quantity for more accurate cost control. Example: Charge a ₹100 fee per item for fragile goods, so ordering 3 units adds ₹300 instead of just ₹100.</li>
<li>Tailor fees to reflect regional transaction costs or currency exchange charges. Example: Add a 4.4% fee for non-U.S. payments and 2.9% for U.S.-based transactions.</li>
<li>Apply percentage-based fees either on each product or the full cart total when fees are set at the product level. Example: Add a 5% handling fee per product for fragile items or apply 5% to the entire cart for bulk orders.</li>
<li>Avoid cart abandonment by informing customers of fees upfront on the product page. Example: Show “2.5% extra charge applies for PayPal payments” on the product details page.</li>
<li>Customize fees as a fixed amount or a percentage of the total order value. Example: Apply a 2.5% fee on the total order value for credit card payments or charge a flat $0.50.</li>
<li>Avoid discouraging small orders by waiving fees below a set order amount. Example: No additional fees for orders under $20.</li>
<li>Set payment gateway-specific fees or discounts for individual products to handle product-based pricing strategies. Example: Add a ₹50 fee for COD only on heavy items, or offer a 5% discount for prepaid orders on select electronics.</li>
<li>Set fee limits to keep charges reasonable and predictable. Example: Cap the fee at $5 for high-value orders while maintaining a minimum of $1.</li>
<li>
Ensure some payment methods remain fee-free to encourage their usage. Example: No extra charges for Stripe payments while fees apply to others.
</li>
<li>Apply or skip fees depending on whether a coupon is used during checkout. Example: Waive the payment gateway fee if the customer uses a 10% discount coupon.</li>
<li>Ensure compliance by applying taxes to gateway fees where required. Example: Add a 7% tax to a $2.00 payment gateway fee in applicable regions.</li>
<li>Keep gateway fees fair by calculating them only on product costs. Example: Apply a 2% fee on the subtotal without including shipping charges in the calculation. </li>
</ul>

The Payment Gateway Based Fees & Discounts plugin allows you to add extra fees as a fixed amount or a percentage of the cart total.
