Disable the Payment Method for a Specific Category
In this post we will show you how you can disable one or more payment methods in the Woocommerce Checkout for a specific category. In our example, we want to remove the “Cash on delivery” payment method for two categories.
This is how the Payment Section on the Checkout Page looks like before changing the code:
You can remove the payment method(s) by adding the following code to your functions.php file:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_available_payment_gateways', 'arrow_design_unset_gateway_by_category' );
function arrow_design_unset_gateway_by_category( $available_gateways ) {
if ( is_admin() ) return $available_gateways;
if ( ! is_checkout() ) return $available_gateways;
$unset = false;
$category_ids = array( 26, 29 ); //change category id here
foreach ( WC()->cart->get_cart_contents() as $key => $values ) {
$terms = get_the_terms( $values['product_id'], 'product_cat' );
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
if ( in_array( $term->term_id, $category_ids ) ) {
$unset = true;
break;
}
}
}
if ( $unset == true ) unset( $available_gateways['cod'] );
return $available_gateways;
}
