Payment Restrictions
by Amasty
Have trouble with receiving money for the orders? Getting payments is the core of every business. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to properly organize the payment process. The sooner you get the money - the better.
Nowadays there are many options for receiving money online and offline. Some of the options are less reliable than others. With most online payments you get the money immediately. With offline payments this is a rather different story - it can take weeks to receive a wire transfer, as you can't make a person go to a bank.
So obviously there needs to be a good balance between 'many payment options to comfort each customer' and 'we will definitely get the money'. A sensible way to do this would be to set up a number of payment rules for various situations. For example, make 'check' payment method available only to customers, who have previously spent more than $500 at your site. 'Cash on delivery' only for registered or premium group of customers. 'Purchase order' only for purchases exceeding $10000 and only for wholesalers.
You can set all of the above and many other rules with Payment Restrictions extension. The module lets you block payment methods based on:
- Order data: subtotal, quantity, weight, etc;
- Shipping information: country, state or province, zip code, shipping method
- Website or store view
- Customer groups
If you have our Special Promotions Pro extension, you can also put restrictions using customers' personal data and order history - name, email, birthdate, number of orders, amount spent.
Payment Restrictions enables you to create very flexible payment method rules. On one hand they will restrict access to payment methods for some customers or in certain situations. And on the other hand will give more options in particular cases or to trusted and privileged customers.
So you will be able to maintain reasonable limitations to reduce business risks and not to miss opportunities at the same time. In other words make payment process efficient.
Features:
Increase effectiveness of your payment process.
Sometimes it is necessary to limit usage of payment methods to prevent losses. E.g., it doesn't make sense to use certain payment gateways for small orders due to comparatively high processing fees. It is quite risky to provide options like 'cash on delivery' to new customers. In other situations, it makes sense to provide additional payment options, for example you can make wire transfer available to wholesale customers, who place large orders. With the module you will be able to fine-tune your payment system to maximize its output.Restrict payment methods by customers' personal data and order history.
Please be aware that restrictions based on customers' personal data and order history are available only if you have our Special Promotions Pro extension. With combination of Payment Restrictions and Special Promotions Pro you can apply restrictions to individual customers. For example you know a customer who takes a long time to send funds by wire transfer. You can block 'wire transfer' method for the customer by specifying email, name, id and even date of birth. Or vice versa you can reward customers with great order history. Give 'purchase order' or 'cash on delivery' to people, who have previously spent more than $1000 at your website and placed at least 3 orders.Set payment restrictions based on order data.
You can apply payment method limitations based on order subtotal, weight and products quantity. For instance, you can disable '2checkout' for orders worth less than $5, as otherwise you will lose about $1 on payment processing.Create payment limitations based on shipping information.
Use parameters such as country, state or province, zip code, shipping method for restrictions. Let's say you operate from Virginia. It will not make sense to allow 'cash on delivery' method in Alaska, so you can block the method for distant provinces, where your own couriers don't deliver.Restrict usage of payment methods by product attributes.
All product attributes are available for restriction conditions. You can block 'check' method for products from a category with cheap items or for products of a certain manufacturer.Limit use of payment methods by customer groups.
Many store owners have privileged groups of customers. Now it is possible to grant extra payment methods for such customers, e.g. 'cash on delivery'. Vice versa you can block offline payment methods for not logged in customers.Restrict payment methods by store view and website.
This feature can be very useful when you have a separate website or store view for each region or customer group.Conditions "starts from" and "ends with".
Especially useful for zip codes, so you can specify that a restriction should apply to all zip codes starting from '123' or ending with 'XYZ'.Payment Restrictions can be applied both on front end and in admin panel.
To avoid cases when admin forgets that certain payment methods can't be used for some customers or situations, you can set the restrictions to apply in admin panel as well - individual setting for each rule.Our other extensions which enhance payment, shipping and order processing functionality:
- Shipping Restrictions extension - works similar to Payment Restrictions, only for shipping methods.
- Percent Shipping extension - allows to calculate shipping based on order total. You can create multiple percent based shipping methods. For example, 5% of order total for ground mail, 10% for express mail and so on
- Shipping per Product extension - lets you set flat shipping rate for each product.
- Order Attributes extension - with it you can collect export all the necessary information needed for order processing and shipping.
Also the extension:
- is easy to use
- meets all Magento development practices
- is 100% Open Source
- is easy to install (takes just a couple minutes)
