Active Payments for WooCommerce

Active Payments for WooCommerce is a premium extension developed by WP Desk that transforms the management of payment methods in your online store. Instead of relying on a static configuration where all gateways always appear for all customers, this plugin introduces dynamic and intelligent rules that determine when and to whom each payment option is shown during the checkout process.

The plugin is designed for WooCommerce stores that have moved beyond basic setup and need granular control over their payment process. With Active Payments, you can show or hide payment gateways based on cart total, selected shipping method, customer's geographic location, user role, login status, cart contents, applied coupons, and even the device used to make the purchase. It also allows you to schedule payment methods by date, time, or day of the week, and apply surcharges, fees, or discounts per gateway with specific conditions.

One of its most notable features is the integration with shipping methods: you can configure certain payment methods to appear only when the customer chooses a specific shipping option, such as allowing cash on delivery only for express shipping. Additionally, it integrates perfectly with Flexible Shipping, WP Desk's flagship shipping plugin, allowing you to create fully customized combined shipping and payment scenarios.

Its main benefits include:

• Advanced rules with AND/OR logic to combine multiple conditions and create complex gateway visibility scenarios.
• Smart prioritization of payment methods to direct customers toward the most profitable options for your business.
• One-click test mode to simulate rules and verify checkout behavior without affecting real customers.
• Support for custom gateways and third-party extensions, as well as compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage.
• Management of surcharges and fees per payment method, both fixed and percentage-based, to pass transaction costs to the customer when necessary.
• Clean interface with rule export and import to facilitate configuration and migration between environments.
• Multisite and multi-currency ready, ideal for international stores.

Active Payments for WooCommerce is the definitive solution for businesses looking to reduce checkout friction, increase conversion, and align their payment methods with their daily operations and internal business policies.
