displaying certain payment methods for customer groups

Question

I am very new to the magento checkout process so forgive my lack of knowledge. Is there a way of displaying certain payment options for certain customer groups. For example i have changed the "purchase order number" to "30 day credit account" but this is only available to a certain customer group so I only want it to display when the user is logged in and is part of that customer group.

Again sorry for my lack of knowledge, if you can help you would be a life saver.

Thank you

Answer 1

you can do this using magento event observer,create an event on payment_method_is_active and depednds on customer group disable and enable payment method:

check this link: Implementing payment method per currency

and you need do on some change in observer.php I have trying to example and try to modify according to you

   public function filterpaymentmethod(Varien_Event_Observer $observer) {
        /* call get payment method */
        $method = $observer->getEvent()->getMethodInstance();
if(Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn()) {

 $roleId = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId();
 $role = Mage::getSingleton('customer/group')->load($roleId)->getData('customer_group_code');

      if($method->getCode()=='purchaseorder'){
            $quote = $observer->getEvent()->getQuote();

            if($role == $yourcustomergroupid){
              $result = $observer->getEvent()->getResult();   
              $result->isAvailable = true;
              return;
            }else{
               $result = $observer->getEvent()->getResult();   
               $result->isAvailable = false;
            }
        }

     if($method->getCode()=='checkmo'){
            $quote = $observer->getEvent()->getQuote();

            if($role == $yourcustomergroupid){
              $result = $observer->getEvent()->getResult();   
              $result->isAvailable = true;
            return;
            }else{
              $result = $observer->getEvent()->getResult();   
              $result->isAvailable = false;
            }
        }
}

}

Note: If you not getting customer group id from session then you need tp load customer by customer id(which is must get from session) for getting customer group from session try below:

In Magento 2

Let’s create a module. Step 1) Create folders like this.

app/code/Pits/PaymentMethod/etc/
app/code/Pits/PaymentMethod/Observer/

Step 2) Declare your module

app/code/Pits/PaymentMethod/etc/module.xml.

Paste the following code in the above file.

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="Pits_PaymentMethod" setup_version="2.0.0" /></config>

Step 4 ) Create registration file. app/code/Pits/PaymentMethod/registration.php Paste the below code.

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
    'Pits_PaymentMethod',
    __DIR__
);

Step 5)Run the below command in the command line

php bin/magento module:enable Pits_PaymentMethod

 php bin/magento setup:upgrade

Step 6)Lets create events.xml file

app/code/Pits/PaymentMethod/etc/events.xml

Paste the below code in it.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
    <event name="payment_method_is_active">
        <observer name="Pits_PaymentMethod_DisabledPgByCustomergroup" instance="Pits\PaymentMethod\Observer\DisabledPgByCustomergroup" />
    </event>
</config>

Step 7)Lets create observer file

app/code/Pits/PaymentMethod/Observer/DisabledPgByCustomergroup.php.php



<?php
namespace Pits\PaymentMethod\Observer;
use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;
use Magento\Framework\App\Request\DataPersistorInterface;
use Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager;
class DisabledPgByCustomergroup implements ObserverInterface
{
    public function __construct(\Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $logger)
    {
        $this->_logger = $logger;
    }
    /**
     *
     * @param \Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer
     * @return void
     */
    public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
    {
        $result          = $observer->getEvent()->getResult();
        $method_instance = $observer->getEvent()->getMethodInstance();
        $quote           = $observer->getEvent()->getQuote();
        $this->_logger->info($method_instance->getCode());
        /* If Cusomer  group is match then work */
        if (null !== $quote && $quote->getCustomerGroupId() != 4) {
            /* Disable All payment gateway  exclude Your payment Gateway*/
            if ($method_instance->getCode() == 'purchaseorder') {
                $result->setData('is_available', false);
            }
        }
        /*else{
        if($method_instance->getCode() =='purchaseorder'){
        $result->setData('is_available', true);

        }
        }*/
    }
}

Step 8)Run this in command line

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
