COD Payment for Specific Customer

[Mark C]

Is there a way to have COD Payment for specified customer? I understand that the buyer will signup on the website.

 

thanks

Maybe create a new group and assign client/s to it. Then set COD only for that specific group?

By "specified customer", do you mean a single customer or a selection of customers?

selection of customers

Similar question and answer is here, the solution is as @ComGrafPL said. You should restrict COD as a payment module for a group of customers. But it depends what COD are you talking about. They may or may not have this feature.

Found it!

In any payment module there should be a method called hookPaymentOption

This method returns a payment option to be added to the list of available payment options for customer.

If you return an empty array, then this payment options is not available for the customer.

So, you need to check customer group at the end of this method. And then if your conditions are not satisfied, you want to simply return an empty array.

A simple workaround for this problem in the module ps_wirepayment is here for you:

Just add these lines at the end of hookPaymentOption before last line:

$currentCustomerGroups = Customer::getGroupsStatic($this->context->customer->id);
$allowedCustomerGroups = [1,2,3];

if(empty(array_intersect($currentCustomerGroups, $allowedCustomerGroups))) {
	return [];
}

The final result for ps_wirepayment version 2.1.3 is:

public function hookPaymentOptions($params)
{
    if (!$this->active) {
        return [];
    }

    if (!$this->checkCurrency($params['cart'])) {
        return [];
    }

    $this->smarty->assign(
        $this->getTemplateVarInfos()
    );

    $newOption = new PaymentOption();
    $newOption->setModuleName($this->name)
            ->setCallToActionText($this->trans('Pay by bank wire', [], 'Modules.Wirepayment.Shop'))
            ->setAction($this->context->link->getModuleLink($this->name, 'validation', [], true))
            ->setAdditionalInformation($this->fetch('module:ps_wirepayment/views/templates/hook/ps_wirepayment_intro.tpl'));
    $payment_options = [
        $newOption,
    ];

    $currentCustomerGroups = Customer::getGroupsStatic($this->context->customer->id);
    $allowedCustomerGroups = [1,2,3];

    if(empty(array_intersect($currentCustomerGroups, $allowedCustomerGroups))) {
        return [];
    }

    return $payment_options;
}

As you can see in this code, $allowedCustomerGroups is a hard coded array. You can develop your own form in BO to fill this array dynamically.

i think the grouping of customers is enough for my client. done on this issue by creating a group of users for COD payment. Along with the COD module installation.
