Restrict Payment Methods based on Cart Total

In this tutorial I will show you how to disable WooCommerce payment gateways based on cart total without use of any plugin.

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

In the below example we are going to disable “Cash on Delivery” payment method if total amount in cart is more than 1000 (in shop currency) using woocommerce_available_payment_gateways filter hook.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_available_payment_gateways', 'rudr_turn_off_cod' );

function rudr_turn_off_cod( $available_gateways ) {
	
	if( is_admin() ) {
		return $available_gateways;
	}
	
	// STEP 1: Get order/cart total
	if( is_wc_endpoint_url( 'order-pay' ) ) { // Pay for order page
		
		$order_id = wc_get_order_id_by_order_key( $_GET[ 'key' ] );
		$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
		$order_total = $order->get_total();
		
	} else { // Cart/Checkout page
		$order_total = WC()->cart->get_total();
	}
	
	// STEP 2: Disable payment gateway if order/cart total is more than 1000
	if ( $order_total > 1000 ) {
		unset( $available_gateways[ 'cod' ] ); // unset Cash on Delivery
	}

	return $available_gateways;

}

Notes:

• WC()->cart->get_total() includes not only the total amount of products in the cart but also the shipping costs and fees, if you do not need it, use WC()->cart->get_cart_subtotal().
• cod is the slug of Cash on Delivery payment method. Where to get the other payment method slugs? First of all, you can always use print_r(), second, here are some default payment methods slugs: bacs (Direct bank transfer), cheque (Check payments) and paypal and third, you can add a column with ID into payment methods table in WooCommerce settings.
• On line 10 of this snippet you’ve probably noticed is_wc_endpoint_url() condition, we need it because we shouldn’t forget about “Pay for order” page in My Account, our payment method restrictions should on this page as well, right?
• You can insert the code to your current (or child) theme functions.php file.
