Payment Restrictions

Overview

You've probably noticed the "Restrictions" column heading on several of the previous screen shots.  

This feature allows you to place payment restrictions on any particular payment method configured on your account.  Notice in the above screen shot each payment method has an "edit" button in the "Restrictions" column.   If you click the edit button for a payment method NOT configured (no check in the box), the following notice will appear: "Unable to load payment method settings".  Simple click the "back" button on your browser to return to the Payment Screen.

Clicking a configured Payment Method's "edit" button will display the Restriction settings.  

Most Payment Methods have the same options available which are:

• Subtotal Restrictions

• Destination Restrictions

• Storefront Restrictions (or Legacy Screen Branding Themes)

Open

Subtotal Restrictions

• Minimum Subtotal: The minimum order subtotal required for this payment method to be available to customers.

• Maximum Subtotal: The maximum order subtotal limit after which this payment method will no longer be available to customers.

Destination Restrictions

This section allows you to configure payment method restrictions for each destination listed by selecting one of three options: Invalid for, Valid for, or Valid only for. While this table might seem complex initially, it becomes more intuitive as you begin editing and applying restrictions to your payment methods. Merchants often use this feature to limit payments based on location, including specific countries and P.O. boxes. If you're familiar with the Shipping Configurations setup, this format will feel similar. 

StoreFront Restrictions

In this section, you can choose from three options for each StoreFront. Merchants with multiple screen branding themes or StoreFronts can use this feature to designate whether a payment method is valid or invalid for a specific screen branding theme.
