WooCommerce Partial COD – Payment Gateway Restrictions & Fees is a premium WooCommerce extension designed to give store owners tighter control over checkout payments—combining payment method restrictions, conditional gateway fees/discounts, and “Partial COD” (risk-free cash on delivery) deposits into one rule-based toolkit. If you want to reduce COD risk, fine-tune payment availability, and automate gateway-related checkout behavior without stitching together multiple plugins, this all-in-one approach is built for you.
WooCommerce Partial COD – Payment Gateway Restrictions & Fees for Smarter Checkout Control
At its core, this plugin helps you manage payment availability and gateway-related cart behavior based on product rules and conditions. It groups its capabilities into five workflow-friendly modules:
- Settings & Restrictions
- Partial Payments (Partial COD / Risk-Free COD)
- Gateway Fees (Handling Fees)
- Cart Discounts
- Order Autopilots
That modular structure makes it easier to adopt just what you need (for example, start with COD deposits and add gateway fees later) while keeping your checkout strategy consistent across your store.
Payment Gateway Settings & Restrictions
For stores that need conditional payment method control, this module lets you create and manage dynamic gateway options—including:
- Payment gateway restrictions (rule-based availability)
- Dynamic method titles
- Gateway descriptions
- Custom button text
- Other gateway-related settings tied to conditions
This is especially useful for tailoring the checkout experience to different scenarios while keeping your payment options clean and relevant.
Partial Payments and Risk-Free COD Deposits
The Partial Payments module is built for merchants who want the convenience of COD without the common downsides. You can create multiple Partial COD payment options using several payment-amount calculation approaches, including calculations based on:
- Product totals
- Shipping costs
- Cart fees
- Taxes
- Cart subtotals
This enables flexible “deposit first, COD balance later” flows—helping reduce abandoned deliveries, fake orders, and high-risk COD attempts while still offering cash on delivery as an option.
Conditional Gateway Fees and Handling Charges
To offset processing costs or discourage expensive payment routes, WooCommerce Partial COD – Payment Gateway Restrictions & Fees allows you to create multiple conditional gateway fees based on conditions and product rules. Fee calculations include options such as:
- Fixed amounts
- Cart percentage-based fees
- Product totals percentage-based fees
This makes it easy to apply a “COD handling fee,” adjust pricing strategy per gateway, or align payment methods with operational costs—without manual intervention.
Cart Discounts by Payment Method
In addition to fees, the plugin also supports multiple cart discounts that can be conditionally applied based on rules and product logic, using discount calculation functions aligned with the gateway-fee system.
This is a practical way to incentivize preferred payment methods (like bank transfer or card payments) while keeping discounting consistent and automated at checkout.
Order Autopilots for Automated Order Actions
The Order Autopilots module adds workflow automation triggered by events such as:
- Cron tasks
- Order creation
- Order status changes
Autopilots can be configured to perform actions like:
- Updating order status
- Adding order notes
- Updating order/customer metadata
For busy stores, this helps reduce repetitive admin work and standardize operational steps after checkout.
Translation-Ready and Store-Friendly Setup
The plugin includes translation files (.pot/.po/.mo) to support multilingual WooCommerce setups, and it’s backed by dedicated documentation to help teams implement advanced rule sets confidently.
Who This Premium Plugin Is For
WooCommerce Partial COD – Payment Gateway Restrictions & Fees is ideal for:
- Stores offering COD and wanting a deposit-based, risk-reduction strategy
- Merchants who need payment method restrictions driven by rules and conditions
