Make a method public or private and keep a per-user list: allow only chosen users on a private method, or block specific users from a public one.
What it is
Control exactly who can see and use each payment method, for example a bank transfer option reserved for resellers, or a gateway hidden from a user who charged back.
How it works
- Set a method to Public or Private on its Visibility screen.
- A private method is invisible to everyone except the users you add to its list.
- A public method is visible to everyone except the users you add to its block list.
- Search users by username or email and add them in one click; nothing is saved until you submit.
- The method list shows the visibility and how many users are allowed or blocked.
- Hidden methods are also rejected if a user tries to reach them directly.
Where to find it
