Payment Methods by Product & Country for WooCommerce controls which payment gateways appear at checkout through tabs at WPFactory > Payment Gateways per Products: Product Categories and Product Tags (free), and Products and Countries (Pro). Each gateway has Include and Exclude fields, and Pro users can enable a fallback gateway for conflicting carts.
The rule sections #
Rules live in these tabs at WPFactory > Payment Gateways per Products (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Payment Gateways per Products):
- Product Categories (free): show or hide each gateway based on the categories in the cart.
- Product Tags (free): the same, based on product tags.
- Products (Pro): rules for individual products and variations.
- Countries (Pro): restrict gateways to specific billing countries.
Each section is turned on with its own Enable section checkbox. There is no single master switch for the plugin.
Include and Exclude #
Inside each section, every gateway has an Include and an Exclude field:
- Include shows a gateway only when a matching item is in the cart.
- Exclude hides a gateway when a matching item is in the cart.
- Leaving both empty means the gateway is not affected by that section.
For any one gateway and term, choose Include or Exclude, not both.
Advanced Options: the fallback gateway #
In the General tab, Pro users can enable a Fallback gateway. It appears only when your rules would otherwise leave a cart with no available payment method, for example a mixed cart where each product allows a different, non-overlapping gateway. Enable it, then choose the gateway to fall back to. This is not a “default gateway”: it is shown only in the zero-gateway conflict case.
Advanced Options: Add filter #
The Add filter option (alg_wc_pgpp_advanced_add_hook) sets when the plugin registers its gateway filter: In constructor, On “init” action (default), or On “wp_loaded” action. Change it only if gateways are not filtering correctly with your theme or another plugin.
A worked example #
- Keep all gateways available for everyday products.
- In Product Categories, add High value to Cash on Delivery’s Exclude field so it never shows for expensive items.
- In Products (Pro), add one premium item to Direct Bank Transfer’s Include field, and to the Exclude field of the other gateways, so it can only be paid by bank transfer.
