In your store, you can restrict payment methods based on shipping or delivery methods selected by your customers at checkout. In other words, your store will show the payment method for specified shipping options only.
For example, you can offer the Сash payments only for In-store pickup, or Paying with PayPal only for people who choose delivery within the US.
Restricting a payment method by specific shipping methods
To display an additional payment method for a particular shipping option chosen during checkout, you need to connect that payment with one or several shipping options. Upon connecting, the payment option becomes available for the selected shipping methods only.
Example: You have two payment methods, Cash and PayPal, and four shipping options. PayPal is available for all orders, while Cash is offered only when customers choose to pick-up the order in store.
To offer a payment method for certain shipping methods:
- From your store admin, go to Payment.
- Select the method you want to set up and click Edit.
- Scroll down to Payment method availability based on shipping choice and click Limit availability by shipping method.
- Click Select Methods and check boxes for all the shipping methods you want this payment to be available to. Then click Select.
- Click Save.
- From your online store mobile app, tap Store → Payments.
- Tap the payment method.
- Scroll down to Limit availability by shipping method.
- Tap Select Methods and tick all the shipping methods you want this payment to be available to. Then tap Select.
- Tap Done to save changes.
- From your online store mobile app, tap Store → Payments.
- Tap the payment method.
- Scroll down to Limit availability by shipping method.
- Tap Select Methods and tick all the shipping methods you want this payment to be available to. Then tap Select.
- Tap the tick icon at the top right corner to save changes.
Creating a shipping method with a single payment option
You can create one or several shipping methods that will have only one payment option regardless of the number of payment methods available in your store.
Example: You have two payment methods, Cash and PayPal, and four shipping options. When customers choose to pick-up their order in the store, they can pay with Cash only.
To restrict a payment method to one or several shipping options, you need to connect all payment methods with all shipping methods except for the ones where you want to offer only a single payment method. In our example, we connect all payments, except Cash, with all shipping options, except Self-pickup.
To limit a payment method to a single shipping option:
- From your store admin, go to Payment.
- Select a payment method that is different from the method that you want to make available for a particular shipping method. In our example, the goal is to limit the Cash payment method, so we choose any method but that.
- Scroll down to Payment method availability based on shipping choice and click Limit availability by shipping method.
- Click Select Methods and check boxes for all the shipping methods except the one that you want to offer a specific payment for. In this example, it’s Self-pickup:
- Click Select.
- Repeat the above steps for every payment method in your store except for one that you want to make available for a particular shipping method. In this example, it’s the Cash payment option.
- Click Save.
- From your online mobile app, tap Store → Payments.
- Select a payment method that is different from the method that you want to make available for a particular shipping method. In our example, the goal is to limit the Cash payment method, so we choose any method but that.
- Scroll down to Limit availability by shipping method.
- Tap Select Methods and tick boxes for all the shipping methods except the one that you want to offer a specific payment for. In this example, it’s Self-pickup:
- Repeat the above steps for every payment method in your store except for one that you want to make available for a particular shipping method. In this example, it’s the Cash payment option.
- Tap Done to save changes.
- From your online mobile app, tap Store → Payments.
- Select a payment method that is different from the method that you want to make available for a particular shipping method. In our example, the goal is to limit the Cash payment method, so we choose any method but that.
- Scroll down to Limit availability by shipping method.
- Tap Select Methods and tick boxes for all the shipping methods except the one that you want to offer a specific payment for. In this example, it’s Self-pickup:
- Repeat the above steps for every payment method in your store except for one that you want to make available for a particular shipping method. In this example, it’s the Cash payment option.
- Tap the tick icon at the top right corner to save changes.
That’s it. Now customers will only see the designated payment method when selecting that particular shipping option. In our example, they will see the Pay by cash only after choosing the Home delivery method.
