Conditional Payment Methods for WooCommerce – Control Gateway Display & Fees

img

Product Overview

Active Payments for WooCommerce gives store owners complete control over which payment methods appear at checkout. By default, WooCommerce displays every available payment gateway regardless of the shipping method chosen. This often leads to confusion—especially when Cash on Delivery (COD) is offered alongside online payment options that may not apply to that shipping method.

With this plugin, you can conditionally show or hide payment methods based on the customer’s selected shipping option, order total, or other checkout criteria. You can also add custom fees to specific gateways, limit the number of times a payment method can be used, and highlight your preferred payment options to improve conversion rates.

Key Features

  • Conditional Payment Display: Show or hide payment methods based on shipping method selection, order total, or other checkout conditions.
  • Payment Gateway Fees: Add flat fees or percentage-based fees to any payment gateway at checkout.
  • Hide Payment Methods: Disable specific payment options for certain shipping methods or order conditions.
  • Limit Payment Method Usage: Set a maximum usage limit for each payment method to control availability.
  • Highlight Preferred Methods: Emphasize specific payment gateways to guide customers toward your preferred options.
  • Invoice Fee Display: Show payment fees on flexible PDF invoices for full transparency.

Benefits

Reduce Checkout Confusion: When customers select a shipping method, they only see the payment options that actually apply. This eliminates frustration and prevents abandoned carts caused by irrelevant payment choices.

Increase Conversions: Highlighting your preferred payment method encourages customers to complete purchases using the gateway you want, potentially reducing transaction costs and improving cash flow.

Flexible Fee Management: Add service fees to specific payment gateways based on flat amounts or order totals, helping you offset processing costs or incentivize certain payment methods.

Better Customer Experience: A streamlined checkout with relevant payment options feels more professional and trustworthy, leading to higher satisfaction and repeat purchases.

How It Can Be Used

This plugin is ideal for WooCommerce stores that offer multiple shipping methods alongside various payment gateways. For example, if you offer both standard shipping and cash on delivery, you can configure the plugin to show only bank transfer or credit card options for standard shipping, while displaying COD exclusively for cash-on-delivery shipments.

It is also useful for stores that want to charge additional fees for certain payment methods—such as a small processing fee for credit card payments or a convenience fee for bank transfers. The fee configuration is flexible and can be based on flat rates or percentages tied to the order total.
