Disable Payment Gateway based on Shipping Method

In order to do so you can use the code below in your current or child theme functions.php file:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_available_payment_gateways', 'rudr_payment_method_by_shipping' );

function rudr_payment_method_by_shipping( $gateways ) {
	
	if( is_admin() ) { // do nothing in /wp-admin
		return $gateways;
	}
	
	if( is_wc_endpoint_url( 'order-pay' ) ) { // "Pay for order" page
		
		$order = wc_get_order( wc_get_order_id_by_order_key( $_GET[ 'key' ] ) );
		if( $order->has_shipping_method( 'local_pickup' ) ) {
			if( isset( $gateways[ 'cod' ] ) ) {
				unset( $gateways[ 'cod' ] ); // unset cash on delivery if exists
			}
		}
		
	} else { // Cart/Checkout page
		
		// get a shipping method selected by a customer
		$chosen_shipping_method = WC()->session->get( 'chosen_shipping_methods' )[0];

		// check the shipping method
		if ( 'local_pickup:4' === $chosen_shipping_method ) {
			if( isset( $gateways[ 'cod' ] ) ) {
				unset( $gateways[ 'cod' ] );
			}
		}
		
	}
	
	return $gateways;

}

If you need some custom coding help with WooCommerce payment gateways or maybe you need to develop one – please feel free to contact me.

As you can see, we have two parts of the code, in the first part – we process the payment methods on “Pay for order” page and check if a specific shipping method is set in the order itself using has_shipping_method() method of WC_Order class. In the second part – we do the same for the WooCommerce Checkout page where we get the selected shipping method from user sessions.

What is local_pickup:4 here and how to get it? As you can see in consists of two parts – shipping method name and index. For example you could have multiple local pickup shipping methods and if you would like to apply the condition for all of them , you have to change line 9 to:

if ( 0 === strpos( $chosen_shipping_method, 'local_pickup' ) ) {

Okay, but where to get it? What if you have some custom shipping methods installed?

The easiest way is to inspect the code in your browser:
