FAQ

What can I do with this extension?

With this extension you can create rules that enable or disable payment or shipping methods.

For example: “When the user buys less than $300, allow them to pay using PayPal”.

How do I create a rule to disable a payment/shipping method?

You have first to set up completely that method in the magento admin. It can also be a new method you installed with an extension.
First of all, try it out to see if it works fine without the rule created. Afterward, you can go, create a rule, define the condition, define the action (which should be “disable payment method” or “disable shipping method”), mark the method in the list of methods, and finally save the rule.

In the example above, the condition would be “the total in the shopping cart is less than $300″, and the action “enable payment method”, and the method “Paypal”.

What kinds of conditions can I create?

The conditions are the same that can be created for the Shopping Cart Rules. You can find a (very simple) tutorial here: http://go.magento.com/support/kb/entry/name/set-shopping-cart-price-rule-conditions/.

How do I create a rule to enable a payment/shipping method?

This processs is almost exactly the same as creating a rule for disabling a method. What you should keep in mind, is that after testing that the method works without the rule, you should disable it in the admin. Then it will be disabled for everyone, and the rule will be able to enable it.

Can I create a rule to enable/disable a shipping/payment method when X?

Well, you should check if the shopping cart rules enable you to create such condition. If so, then yes.
