Payment Method Restrictions
$14.00

Your Checkout, Your Rules.

Stop showing every payment option to every customer. Show only the ones that make sense — per product, store-wide, or both.

Control Every Payment Option at Checkout

Three layers of control — per product, global keep, global remove — working together so your checkout always reflects how your business actually operates.

Per-Product Payment Rules

Choose exactly which payment methods are available when a specific product is in the cart. Bank transfer only for wholesale SKUs. Card only for digital downloads. All methods for everything else. Set it on the product. Forget about it.

Global Keep List

Lock your entire store to only the gateways you approve. Two gateways in the keep list? Those are the only two that ever appear at checkout. For every customer. Every order. No exceptions.

Global Remove List

Add a payment method to the remove list and it vanishes from checkout. Permanently. Regardless of product settings, regardless of anything else — it just doesn't show up. Perfect for eliminating COD abuse or retiring old gateways before you decommission them.

Smart Multi-Product Logic

Customer adds two products with different payment rules? The plugin evaluates all of them and shows only what satisfies every item in the cart. No customer gets stuck with zero valid options. The math works correctly.

Any Gateway, Automatically

The plugin discovers every installed payment gateway automatically. PayPal, bank transfer, Stripe, Mollie, WorldPay, Authorize.Net — whatever you've got installed appears in the selector. No manual lists, no config files to edit.

Debug Logging Toggle

Building a complex restriction setup? Flip on debug logging and see exactly how your payment list gets built and pruned — which methods were evaluated, which survived, which were removed and why. Flip it off before you go live. Nobody logs on production.

Real-World Use Cases

You run a wholesale store. Retail customers use card payment. Wholesale customers are on net-30 bank transfer accounts. The problem: showing PayPal and credit card on wholesale product pages creates confusion and occasionally results in someone paying $4,200 via PayPal instead of invoicing you.

Use the global keep list to limit the entire store to bank transfer only — or if you sell a mix of retail and wholesale, put the payment restriction on individual wholesale product SKUs. Retail products still show all methods. Wholesale products show only bank transfer. Clean separation, zero confusion.

Your average order is $200 but you have a dozen SKUs that routinely hit $1,500 or more. Cash on delivery on those is a business risk you've already paid for once. You're not doing it again.

Go into each of those high-value products. Set the payment restriction to exclude COD. From that point forward, when a customer adds one of those items to the cart, COD is invisible. They never see it. They never pick it. The problem is gone. For good.

You stock some products that can only be sold in specific regions — and your regional payment gateway only makes sense for those products. For everything else, you want your standard gateways and a clean checkout.

Use the per-product whitelist to tie your regional products to the regional gateway. When a customer adds a regional-only product, checkout automatically narrows to the right option. When they're buying everything else, the standard set appears. The product drives the checkout. Not the other way around.

In markets where cash on delivery is common, fraud and return abuse are also common. Customers place orders, then ghost the delivery. You pay the shipping. You get the item back. You eat the cost.

Use the per-product whitelist to enable COD only on low-value, easy-to-return items. On everything else, COD simply doesn't appear. You keep the payment option where it makes business sense and eliminate it where it doesn't. Fewer ghost deliveries. Better margin where it matters.

Take Back Control of Your Checkout

Wrong payment method. Wrong order. Wrong problem to solve at 9pm. Get Restrict Payment Methods and set your rules once. Your checkout will remember them even when you've moved on to something else. Seriously.

One Product. One Payment Policy.

Open any product in your J2Commerce admin. Go to the Apps tab. You'll find a Payment Restrictions panel where you choose which methods are allowed when this product is in the cart. Your $3,000 industrial part can require bank transfer only. Your digital subscription can require card only. Your standard product can allow everything.

  • Set payment rules per product — not per store
  • Configured directly in the product edit page — no separate admin screen
  • Leave it empty to allow all methods for that product
One Product. One Payment Policy.
Two Global Lists That Actually Do What They Say

Two Global Lists That Actually Do What They Say

The keep list and the remove list work exactly as advertised. Add gateways to the keep list and only those gateways ever appear. Add gateways to the remove list and those gateways never appear. No overlap confusion, no surprise behavior. Just clean, predictable checkout control.

  • Keep list: your store's approved gateways, and nothing else
  • Remove list: permanent blacklist — no exceptions, no overrides
  • Both lists respect the per-product rules — they work together, not against each other
