Plan: Starter or Pro.
Payment rules let you control which Shopify payment methods are available to the buyer, conditionally. Same shape as delivery rules: one condition + one action per rule. Open Rules → Payment to configure.

​
Common examples

Condition: Cart total over €500 Action: Hide “Cash on delivery”This is the most common pattern. Above a certain total, the COD fraud risk isn’t worth it.
Condition: Country is not Bulgaria Action: Hide “Cash on delivery”
Condition: Cart contains a specific product (e.g. a wholesale-only SKU) Action: Show “Bank transfer”Bank transfer stays hidden everywhere else and only appears when the trigger product is in the cart.
Condition: Cart contains a flagged product (fragile, made-to-order, high-fraud) Action: Hide “Cash on delivery”

​
How rules combine

Like delivery rules, payment rules are applied independently. Each payment method is checked against every rule that affects it; if at least one says “hide”, it’s hidden.
Payment rules apply at Shopify’s checkout step (where the buyer picks the payment method), not inside the Sendway popup itself.

​
Combining with COD fees

COD fees and payment rules pair well:
  • Fee → buyer can still choose COD, but pays a small fee for it
  • Rule → COD is hidden entirely under certain conditions
Use fees as the default behavior, and rules as the escape hatch for high-risk cases.
