WooCommerce Role based Payments and Shipping Methods

Description

WooCommerce Role Based Payment Gateways / Shipping Methods gives site administrators complete control over what each customer sees at checkout. Show or hide any payment gateway and any shipping method per WordPress user role, including logged-out guests, and refine each rule further with cart, destination, customer and schedule conditions.

Version 4.0 is a full rebuild: a new condition engine, a redesigned settings screen, a built-in rule tester, import/export, WP-CLI support and a hardened, audited codebase.

What’s new in 4.0

• Condition engine – narrow any role rule by cart total, cart contents, destination, specific customers, coupons or a schedule.
• Redesigned settings screen – a searchable role list on the left, the selected role’s rule on the right. No more scrolling through every role.
• Rule tester – enter a user ID, login or email and see exactly which rule that customer would hit, before they reach checkout.
• Import & export – move every rule between stores as a single JSON file.
• WP-CLI commands – test, import, export, reset and clear the cache from the command line.
• Safety fallback – if a rule would leave a customer with no way to pay or ship, the original list is restored so checkout never breaks.
• Audit log – see who changed the rules and when.
• Hardened throughout – capability and nonce checks on every save, full input validation, prepared SQL and a clean uninstall.

Condition engine

Switch on Add extra conditions for any role and choose whether the rule applies when ALL conditions are met or when ANY single condition is met. Leave a field blank to ignore it.

• Cart totals – minimum / maximum subtotal, item count or total weight
• Cart contents – specific products, product categories, shipping classes or applied coupons

Documentation

Full documentation ships inside the download from Envato / CodeCanyon. Open the documentation folder and load index.html in your browser for setup steps, a walkthrough of every condition, WP-CLI usage, the security model, developer hooks and a troubleshooting FAQ.

How updates are delivered

Automatic updates are delivered through the official Envato Market plugin, which links WordPress to your CodeCanyon account. If it is not yet installed or active, the plugin shows a single dismissible notice with a link to set it up. You can also update manually at any time by downloading the latest version from your Downloads page and uploading it. Your saved rules are never affected by an update.

The notice is guidance only: the plugin makes no outbound update checks and does not modify WordPress update transients or global HTTP requests, so it cannot interfere with other plugins.
