Payment Method Rules

Edit Priorities Button

The Edit Priorities button gives you some control over the order of payment options that customers see during checkout.

1. Go to > Payments >
2. Click Edit Priorities. >



3. In the Payment Method Priorities dialog box, enter a priority next to one or more payment methods. A larger number means a higher priority. The higher the priority, the closer to the top of the list that payment method will be in the Pay With list box.

Note that you also can set the payment priority when you edit payment method rules. See To Edit Payment Method Rules

Filter by Payment Module Button

The Filter by Payment Module button temporarily shows or hides some payment methods, to make the Payment Method Rules tab a little less cluttered. It's similar to running a List Search.

For example, let's say that you have the following payment modules enabled in your store:

• PayPal
• Authorize.Net
• Credit Card with Simple Validation

With these modules, you might have quite a few payment methods enabled. If you only want to view the Authorize.Net payment methods, click on the Filter by Payment Module button and select Authorize.Net. Note that you can also select more than one payment module at a time.

To Edit Payment Method Rules

1. Go to > Payments > Payment Method Rules tab.
2. Double-click on a payment method. The Payment Method Rules dialog box opens.

Module: The payment module that contains the current method.

Payment Method: The name of the payment method you are editing.

Priority: Priority lets you sort the order that payment methods are shown to customers during checkout. See Edit Priorities Button.

Display As: Change the name of this payment method as it is shown to customers during checkout.

Restrictions: Restrictions let you control when a payment method will be shown to customers.

• Restrict to Order Subtotal: This payment method will only be shown to customers when their order total falls into a certain range.
• Geographic Restrictions: Only show this payment method if the customer's Ship To address is in selected US states or countries.
• Restrict to Zip Codes: Only show this payment method if the customer's Ship To address is in selected zip codes.

Exclude This Method Unless Permitted by Products: Once you check this box, this payment method will never be shown to customers unless you allow it at the product level. See To Use "Exclude This Method Unless Permitted by Products".

Exclusions: Use the Exclusions drop-down list to remove a payment method during checkout based on the presence of another method. For example, you could prevent Visa and American Express from both being displayed during checkout at the same time:

• If Visa is shown, don't display American Express.
• If American Express is shown, don't display Visa.

To Use "Exclude This Method Unless Permitted by Products"

1. Select the feature.

1.1. Go to > Payments > Payment Method Rules tab.

1.2. Double-click on a payment method to open the Payment Method Rules dialog box.

1.3. In the Payment Method Rules dialog box, check the "Exclude This Method Unless Permitted by Products" checkbox.





2. Enable the payment method for a specific product.

2.1 Go to > Catalog > Products tab > edit product > Product tab > Payment Rules section.



2.2 Select the check payment checkbox to allow it for the product you are editing. You would have to do this for every product where you want your customer to be able to pay by check. If you were going to enable the payment method for a large number of products, you can set the Permitted Payment Methods during export/import. See: > Data Management > Import/Export tab > Export Products to Flat File > Export Fields > Payment Rules Fields.
