Which gateways should appear for each product?

Payment Methods by Product & Country for WooCommerce Pro controls payment gateway visibility at checkout according to cart contents and the customer’s country. Rules can target individual products and variations, as well as product categories and tags.

How do product and catalog rules work?

Product and variation rules let you manage gateway availability for a specific item or version. For example, you could limit a higher-end variation to credit card payments while keeping several methods available for a standard version.

For categories, you can show selected gateways for products in a category or hide selected gateways when those products are in the cart. Tag rules can hide selected gateways when tagged products are in the cart. A shop might leave one category unrestricted, exclude PayPal for another, or make a product group available through wire transfer by hiding other gateways.

When might products need different payment options?

Products can have different prices, margins, regional requirements, and customer payment preferences. A store might exclude PayPal for an expensive product and offer wire transfer or a local gateway instead. Lower-priced products may also need different gateway choices when payment fees have a greater effect on margins.

What happens when mixed-cart rules conflict?

When products in one cart have incompatible gateway rules, the combined restrictions could leave no payment method available. Pro lets administrators designate a fallback gateway for these cases, helping provide an available option for the affected cart.

How do country restrictions fit with catalog rules?

Gateway visibility can also be restricted by country. This includes a geographic condition alongside the rules for products, variations, categories, and tags.

How do you configure the rules?

After adding the Pro extension to WooCommerce, define which gateways to show or hide for relevant products, variations, categories, tags, and countries. Review combinations that may conflict, then choose a fallback gateway where needed. You can adjust checkout rules as your catalog and payment requirements change.
