Conditional Payment Methods For WooCommerce

Enable/disable available payment methods based on a customer’s billing or shipping address (location), order total and product taxonomy.

Increase conversions while reducing fraud and payment processing fees by showing only those payment gateways users are familiar with and trust the most.


WooCommerce conditional payment methods = lower risk, higher sales

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) by

  • Customer’s order total
  • Billing or shipping location
  • Product taxonomy

And you can set up all conditions with a simple screen within WooCommerce, so there’s no need to hire a developer or work with custom code.

The plugin currently supports these taxonomies – product category, product type (including virtual, downloadable and any custom product type), product visibility, product tag and any custom product taxonomy like brands, except attributes.

So, if you want to enable specific payment methods like Cash on Delivery for low-priced orders or only Stripe for subscription products, this plugin is what you need.

Why enable conditional payment methods?

Quite a few reasons…

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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
