# Payment Rules Page

### **Overview**

* Lists all rules with status badges (Active/Inactive), a short summary, a toggle, and a Settings button.
* Primary action: Add rule.
* Empty state guides you to create your first rule.

### **Creating A New Rule**

* Click Add rule to open Create rule.
* Choose a rule type:
  * Order: Hide payment by order total range.
  * Location: Hide payment by country (or show only for selected countries).
  * Shipping: Hide payment by shipping rate name(s).
  * Customer: Hide payment for tag cod\_blocked.
* A new rule is added with sensible defaults, ready to edit.

### **Customizing A Rule**

* Click Settings on any rule to open Edit rule.
* Payment Method Name:
  * Set the exact payment method label to hide, e.g., Cash on Delivery (COD).
* Order Total:
  * Min amount and/or Max amount to define a range. Leave blank to skip a bound.
* Location:
  * Mode: Hide for or Show only for.
  * Countries: search and add ISO country options; remove with the × on each tag.
* Shipping:
  * Shipping rate names (comma separated): match one or more rate titles.
* Customer Tag:
  * Triggers when the customer has tag cod\_blocked (no extra input).
* Save changes to persist. You can also Delete a rule from the Edit modal.

### **Activating Rules**

* Use the toggle on each rule to turn it ON/OFF.
* Active rules show a green “Active” badge and apply immediately at checkout.

### **Workflow Tips**

* One rule targets one payment method name. Create multiple rules if you hide different methods under different conditions.
* Use the Customer rule for blacklist-style control: tag customers as cod\_blocked to hide COD only for them.
* Use Order/Shipping/Location rules to expand or narrow when payment methods are hidden.

### **Verification**

* After enabling a rule, start a test checkout that matches its conditions.
* At the payment step, confirm the targeted method is hidden.
* If it’s not:
  * Ensure the rule’s toggle is ON.
  * Check the payment method name matches your storefront label exactly.
  * Confirm the app is Activated (payment customization enabled).
  * Try a fresh checkout session.
