Conditional Payment Gateways for WooCommerce – Hide Payment Methods by Rules

Description

Conditional Payment Gateways for WooCommerce gives you full control over which payment methods appear at checkout. Create unlimited rules and decide exactly when to hide a gateway — based on cart conditions, shipping destination, customer status, or products in the cart.

No PHP. No hooks. No developer needed.

Works seamlessly with the classic checkout and the WooCommerce Blocks checkout. HPOS compatible. Tested with the latest WordPress and WooCommerce versions.

Why hide payment gateways conditionally?

Not all payment gateways make sense for every order. A few common reasons store owners use this plugin:

• Reduce transaction fees — hide expensive gateways for low-margin products
• Prevent fraud — restrict Cash on Delivery for high-value orders
• Improve checkout UX — fewer irrelevant options means fewer abandoned carts
• Meet local requirements — show only gateways available in specific countries
• Coupon restrictions — block gateways incompatible with specific promotions
