Introducing the Magento 2 Payment & Shipping Restrictions

Payment & Shipping Restrictions for Magento 2 comes as two modules in one pack: Shipping Restrictions and Payment Restrictions. These are the tools to specify payment and shipping methods available on the checkout page with regard to customers' belonging to particular customer groups, as pre-configured on your store.

What is special in Aheadworks Payment & Shipping Restrictions for Magento 2 in comparison to the native Magento functionality:

• Payment and shipping methods restricted at checkout
• Customer groups to restrict payment and shipping methods
• Separate restrictions for shipping and payment
• Multiselect of customer groups and All Groups selector
• Support of Multishipping
• Integration with Company Accounts, One Step Checkout, Adobe Payment Services

Using Magento 2 Payment Restrictions

The extension comes as a set of similar configuration facilities available at Stores → Configuration → Aheadworks Extensions → Payment Restrictions.

Payment Methods

The page will feature the list of all the payment methods, enabled on the store.

To enable/disable payment methods, proceed to Stores → Configuration → Sales → Payment Methods. Should you have any questions regarding the use of thereof refer to the official Magento 2 manual or the instructions of a correspondent payment method/gateway available on the web. For example, if you are using the Bambora APAC extension from Aheadworks, your guide can be accessed here.

Only the methods enabled on the store will feature for restricting on the config page of the present module.

Restrictions

To set restrictions, click on a payment method and assign groups of customers to be eligible for this type of payment.

Clicking on the name of the payment method will unfold the full name of thereof, as well as the checklist of all customer groups available on the store. To add/delete customer groups, proceed to Customers → Customer Groups. The official Magento 2 manual will instruct you on how to do that. Name your custom groups meaningfully, so that you later have meaningful restrictions on payments.

By default, all customer groups are given the same rights to all payment methods. It means that all payment methods are open for all groups. When in the default mode, the list of groups will come inactive, greyed-out, and the Use System value checkbox checked.

To specify the groups which will have access to the chosen payment method, untick the Use System Value checkbox and click on the customer group on the list. The multi-select feature is available in the extension: select the group, press the CTRL button on the keyboard, hold it and select as many other groups as you need. Multiselect works with your mouse and mobile devices too.

Only those methods of payment which were pre-configured for display with the present extension will feature on the Checkout page. This will save the time of customers and furthermore suggest to them you know their needs and preferences.

Configuration Options
