Restrict Payment Methods

Limit the use of Payment Methods by Group Memberships, Roles, Countries, and Order Amounts.

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>
