Restrict Payment Methods by Specific Customer in Magento 2:
To restrict payment methods by specific customers, you need to create a payment restriction rule.
First of all, download & install the Magento 2 Payment Restrictions Extension.
Now in Admin Panel, click FMEextensions on sidebar > Manage Restrictions Rules > Add New Rule
Fill the following mandatory fields:
- Name – Enter the name of payment restriction Rule
- Status – Option to Enable/Disable the Rule
- Payment Methods – Choose the payment method that you want to restrict/hide
- Store Views – Select the store view(s) where the rule will be applied
- Priority – Set the rule priority in case you have created multiple restriction rules
- Apply Operation as AND/OR – Set operation to AND if all conditions fulfill the requirement / Set to OR if any of the condition fulfills the requirements. In our case, this option won’t effect as we’re only applying the rule to a specific customer. You have to specify AND/OR operation only if you have setup multiple conditions in a rule.
Now Click the Customer Group /CustomersTab
Click the Customers dropdown > Select the customer(s) for which you want to restrict a payment method
