Payment Rule

Payment rules let you control which payment methods are shown at checkout for orders that match the conditions. You can hide the specified payment methods, or show only the specified payment methods.

A payment rule shows or hides payment methods only when all of the configured conditions are met. If the conditions are not met, the rule does nothing and Shopify's payment settings apply as they are.

The following is an example of a rule that hides Cash on Delivery (COD) when the cart subtotal is $30 or more.

The following are the items you can configure for a payment rule. The image below shows the payment rule setup screen.

This is the internal name used to identify the rule. It is not shown to customers.

Set the payment methods to show or hide when the conditions are met. You can specify payment methods in two ways: selecting from the list or entering them directly.

Commonly used payment methods can be selected from the list. Payment methods selected from the list are targeted regardless of the checkout's display language.

• Shopify Payments (Credit Card)

• Apple Pay

• Google Pay

• Shop Pay

• PayPal

• Bank Deposit

• Money Order

• Cash on Delivery (COD)

When you select from the list, the following related payment methods are also automatically targeted.

The payment method names in this table are the values matched exactly against the payment method names Shopify sends at checkout — they are not interface labels. Methods that appear in Japanese at checkout are matched by their Japanese name, so 銀行振込 and 楽天ペイ are specified in Japanese and are not translated.

Related payment methods are added automatically only when you select from the list. If you use starts with, ends with, or contains in the direct entry field, related payment methods are not added automatically.

For payment methods not in the list, enter the name as it is shown at checkout to specify it directly. Names are compared with case sensitivity.

Set the language condition for applying the rule. Choose from "All languages" or "Specific languages".

Set the customer condition for applying the rule.

If you choose "Customers with accounts", you can narrow it down further by customer tag or customer metafield.

You can specify both "Include customers with any of these tags" and "Exclude customers with any of these tags". In both fields, multiple tags are combined with OR.

If you set both, the rule applies only to customers who have an included tag and none of the excluded tags.

Narrows down customers by the value of a customer metafield. Specify the namespace, key and type, then enter values under "Include customers with any of these values" and "Exclude customers with any of these values".

If you set both, the rule applies only to customers whose metafield has an included value and not an excluded value.

• The include condition does not apply to customers who have no value set for the metafield.

• Customers who have no value set for the metafield are not excluded either.

• When you set the namespace and key, enter at least one included or excluded value.

• You can specify up to 100 tags in total across included and excluded tags.

• You can specify up to 100 excluded values.

• The same tag or the same value cannot be both included and excluded.

Set the product condition for applying the rule. It applies if the cart contains even one item that matches the condition. You cannot specify by product tag.

Set the order condition for applying the rule. If you choose "Specific orders", you can narrow it down by combining the following conditions.

Set a minimum price and maximum price for the total amount in the cart. Prices are set in the store currency; if you sell in local currency, the amount is converted using the exchange rate before the rule is evaluated.

There are two price types used for the judgment.

• Cart subtotal (excluding shipping and tax, before discounts): Judged using the cart subtotal before discounts are applied.

• Grand total (including shipping and tax, after discounts): Judged using the grand total that reflects shipping, tax, and discounts.

Set a minimum weight and maximum weight for the total weight of all items in the cart. The total weight is calculated by multiplying each variant's weight registered in Shopify by its quantity. Variants with no weight set are not included in the total.

Narrows down by the delivery option the customer selected at checkout. Choose a delivery type (Shipping, Pickup in store, Local delivery); if you choose "Shipping", you can narrow it down further by shipping method name. The match types for the shipping method name are the same four types as for entering payment methods directly.

Narrows down by the key and value of an attribute set on the cart. If the specified key is not in the cart, or the value does not match, the rule is not applied.

A payment rule you create is not applied to checkout until you enable it.
