Disabling PayPal for Subcategories in WooCommerce: A Comprehensive Guide

If you’re running an online store using WooCommerce, you might find yourself needing to restrict certain payment options for specific categories or subcategories of products. A common example is wanting to disable the PayPal payment method for all subcategories under a parent category like "Tobacco". This guide will walk you through how to achieve this effectively.

Why Disable Payment Methods?

There are several reasons why you might want to disable a particular payment method for specific products:

Code Breakdown

Get the Category and Its Subcategories:

The get_term_by() function retrieves the term ID for the main category "Tobacco".

get_term_children() fetches all subcategory IDs related to the main category.

Check Payment Method on the Product Page:

wp_get_post_terms() checks if the currently viewed product belongs to the specified category or any of its subcategories.

Loop Through Cart Items:

This checks each item in the cart, confirming if any belong to the specified categories. If they do, PayPal is removed from the available payment gateways.

Conclusion

By implementing this code snippet, you can effectively manage payment methods in WooCommerce, enhancing both compliance and customer experience. Remember, customizing your WooCommerce settings can significantly influence the way customers interact with your store.
