What it does
Most WooCommerce stores offer every enabled payment gateway to every customer, even when some options are a poor fit. A low-value order might cost more in fees through one gateway, a high-ticket item might call for a specific method, and some regions may need different options entirely. YITH Payment Method Restrictions addresses this by letting you enable or disable gateways under conditions you define, so the checkout page reflects how you actually want to get paid.
The plugin works through a rule system. You create as many restriction rules as you need for your enabled gateways, then attach conditions such as selected products, categories or tags, a cart total range, specific countries or user roles like wholesalers. You can also assign different bank accounts to bank transfer payments based on rules and show a custom checkout message explaining why a method is unavailable. It supports the WooCommerce checkout block and works with WPML for multilingual stores.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores wanting to cut gateway fees on small orders
- Shops selling to wholesale and retail customers
- Stores serving customers in several countries
Features
Create as many rules as you need across all your enabled payment gateways, giving you detailed control over which options appear for each order.
Enable or disable payment methods based on what is in the cart, selecting items by product name, category or tag.
Restrict gateways depending on the order value, for example hiding PayPal on low-value orders or allowing card payments only above a set amount.
Offer or hide payment gateways for customers in specific countries, which helps with regional requirements and local payment preferences.
Configure different payment options for different customer groups, such as wholesalers or VIP clients, based on their WordPress user role.
Assign different bank accounts to bank transfer payments depending on custom rules, so funds from different orders go where you want them.
Show a message at checkout that tells customers why a particular payment method is not available for their order.
Works with WPML and includes translations, so stores running in more than one language can use the same restriction setup.

Questions about YITH Payment Method Restrictions
Does this plugin need WooCommerce?
Yes. It is built for WooCommerce and controls the payment gateways you have enabled in your WooCommerce store. It also supports the WooCommerce checkout block, so you can use it with the block-based checkout page.
Can I hide a payment method only for certain products?
Yes. You can set conditions based on the products in the cart, choosing them by name, category or tag. When a matching item is in the cart, the payment method you specify can be disabled or enabled.
Will customers know why a payment option is missing?
You can display a custom notification message at checkout explaining why a particular payment method is unavailable. This helps avoid confusion when a gateway customers expect does not appear for their order.
