Add the Code to Your Child Theme

• Open your child theme’s functions.php file
• Add this code at the very end of the file:

add_filter('woocommerce_available_payment_gateways', function($gateways) {
foreach ($gateways as $gateway_id => $gateway) {
if (!my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id)) {
unset($gateways[$gateway_id]);
    }
}
return $gateways;
});

Create the Visibility Function

• Add this function to your functions.php file:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
// Example: Hide PayPal for specific products
if ($gateway_id === 'paypal') {
// Check if cart contains specific product
foreach (WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item) {
$product_id = $cart_item['product_id'];
// Replace 123 with your product ID
if ($product_id === 123) {
return false;
    }
  }
}
return true;
}

Common Examples:

Hide for Specific Product Categories:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'paypal') {
foreach (WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item) {
$product_id = $cart_item['product_id'];
if (has_term('downloadable', 'product_cat', $product_id)) {
return false;
    }
  }
}
return true;
}

Hide Based on Cart Total:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'cod') {
if (WC()->cart->total < 50) {
return false;
  }
}
return true;
}

Hide for Specific User Roles:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'paypal') {
if (current_user_can('wholesale_customer')) {
return false;
   }
}
return true;
}

Code Examples for Hiding Specific Payment Options:

Hide PayPal:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'paypal') {
return false; // Always hide PayPal
   }
return true;
}

Hide Stripe:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'stripe') {
return false; // Always hide Stripe
   }
return true;
}

Hide Cash on Delivery (COD):

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'cod') {
return false; // Always hide Cash on Delivery
  }
return true;
}

Hide Bank Transfer:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'bacs') {
return false; // Always hide Bank Transfer
  }
return true;
}

Hide Check Payments:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'cheque') {
return false; // Always hide Check Payments
  }
return true;
}

Hide Multiple Payment Options:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
// Array of payment methods to hide
$hidden_methods = array('paypal', 'stripe', 'cod');

   if (in_array($gateway_id, $hidden_methods)) {
       return false;
   }
   return true;

}

Hide Based on Product Price:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'paypal') {
foreach (WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item) {
$product = $cart_item['data'];
if ($product->get_price() > 100) {
return false; // Hide PayPal for products over $100
    }
  }
}
return true;
}

Hide Based on Shipping Method:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'cod') {
$chosen_shipping_methods = WC()->session->get('chosen_shipping_methods');
if (in_array('flat_rate:1', $chosen_shipping_methods)) {
return false; // Hide COD for specific shipping method
  }
}
return true;
}

Hide Based on Customer Location:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'paypal') {
$customer_country = WC()->customer->get_billing_country();
if ($customer_country === 'US') {
return false; // Hide PayPal for US customers
  }
}
return true;
}

Hide Based on Cart Contents:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'stripe') {
foreach (WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item) {
$product = $cart_item['data'];
if ($product->is_virtual()) {
return false; // Hide Stripe for virtual products
    }
  }
}
return true;
}

Remember: You can combine these conditions to create more complex rules. For example:

function my_gateway_is_visible($gateway_id) {
if ($gateway_id === 'paypal') {
// Hide PayPal for US customers with orders over $100
if (WC()->customer->get_billing_country() === 'US' && WC()->cart->total > 100) {
return false;
  }
}
return true;
}
