How to use the Payment Method Rules extension for Magento?

The Payment Method Rules extension allows you to define which payment methods must be enabled in the checkout depending on simple rules. These rules can be defined according to the shipping methods, the customer groups, and the store views. 

The extension is very simple to use and can be adapted to many cases. Thanks to a very intuitive interface, as well as to log files, you'll be able to quickly create and check your payment method rules. 

Moreover, Payment Method Rules is fully compatible with Pickup@store. For example, you could define a different payment method for each point of sale.

STEP 1: Configure the extension in a general way

To enable the Payment Method Rules extension, go to:
SystemConfigurationWyomindPayment Method Rules

Settings

When the Payment Method Rules is enabled, you can also activate the payment method rules journal. 

STEP 2: Create your rules

To create your own rules, go to:
SystemPayment Method Rules

All your payment method rules will be listed in the grid.

You can create a rule by clicking on Add a new rule

General

In the General tab, configure:
  • Title
    Fill in a title for your rule. This is internal, for you to differentiate your methods. 
  • Position
    Define the position among other rules. Note that a rule with a low position will be checked first.

Allowed payment methods

In that tab, choose the allowed Payment Method for that rule. You can select one or more payment methods. 
Note that all the payment methods displayed are the ones enabled in your store. 

Conditions

In the Conditions tab, you have so many possibilities to create the rule you want.

  • Store View
    Select the store view(s) targeted for that rule. 
  • Customer Group
    Select the customer group(s) targeted for that rule. You could select Wholesale and allow the Bank transfer payments only. 
  • Shipping Method
    Select the shipping method(s) targeted for that rule. You could define a payment method rule for each point of sale if you're using Pickup@Store.  

STEP 3: Test your rules

In the checkout will be displayed the allowed payment methods depending on the settings of the rule. 

You can also test your rules using the Testing Tool in:
SystemConfigurationWyomindPayment Method Rules

Testing Tool

The testing tool will help you to check what payment method rules are allowed.

  1. Select:
        a store view
        a customer group
        a shipping method

Freqently Asked Questions
License and domains

A license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one single Magento installation.

If you use more than one Magento installation, you will have to buy a separate license for each one.

If you run several domains on the same Magento installation, you will need only one license for all of them.

Although your license doesn’t have a limited period of validity, your support period does. By purchasing an extension, you’ll be granted a 6-month support period for free. Passed this period, you will have to renew your Support plan (see FAQ: How to extend my support period?).

You can pre-register your live domain to your license in advance.

Thanks to this option, you'll be able to get the extension ready to use on your domain before it goes live.

To pre-register your production domain: 

  1. Go to:
    mY accountLicenses & DOwnloads
  2. Click on  next to the extension you want your domain to pre-register on.
  3. Click on the link at the bottom of the page saying:
    Do you want to pre-register your domain in order to be ready to go live?
  4. Finally, enter your domain name and click on pre-register now .
Attention, this doesn't mean your license is activated. You'll still have to activate it on your new domain when the extension is installed. 

One license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one Magento installation only.  

It is possible, however, to extend or transfer your license in 2 cases: 

  • If you'd like to add your testing environments to your license.
    In this case, it is possible to extend your license to an unlimited number of domains for free.
    For example mywebsite-staging.com or mywebsite-dev.com
  • If you want to transfer your license to another live domain.
    In that case, the support period for your license must still be active.


To be able to use Payment Method Rules on both your production and testing environments, follow the instructions below:

  1. Download Payment Method Rules.
    (see FAQ: Extensions download)
    .
  2. Install Payment Method Rules on your production environment.
    (see FAQ: Extensions installation)
  3. Activate the license.
    (see FAQ: Extensions activation).
  4. From your Magento admin panel, enter your current Activation Key in:
    syStem CONFIGuration WYOMING YOUR EXTENSION 
  5. Save your configuration.


Now that you can use Payment Method Rules on your production environment, repeat the same steps as above on your testing environments.

The only difference this time: a notification will appear in your Magento admin

You will be given a choice between:

  1. buy a new license now
  2. add this domain to my license


Click on Add this domain to my license.

A transfer request will then be sent to our team within an hour.

Once the request is taken care of, you will receive a confirmation email.

If your transfer request is accepted, you can use Payment Method Rules on both environments at the same time.

The order in which you activate your license on your domains does not matter.
You can start with your staging/dev/local environment or with your live domain, the process will be the same.

    The HTML output for Wyomind_Licensemanager and/or Adminhtml_Notification are not disabled in your system under: system   configuration  advanced advanced

Troubleshooting

If you're getting a white page using the extension, you should enable the error reporting in order to display the error. You can do that from index.php.
