Soft Solid Display Payment Methods Depending on Selected Currency (ss_currency_pay)
The ss_currency_pay extension for CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor allows store owners to restrict the available payment methods based on the selected currency during the order checkout process. This ensures that only valid payment options are shown to customers, depending on the currency they choose.
Key Features:
- Currency-Dependent Payment Methods:
- This add-on provides the flexibility to restrict payment methods depending on the currency selected by the customer during checkout. This is particularly useful for businesses operating in multiple regions or countries, where different payment methods are preferred or required for specific currencies.
- Customizable Payment Method Configuration:
- Each payment method can be configured to be available only for specific currencies. For example, you can have different payment methods for USD, EUR, or MXN currencies, ensuring that customers are only presented with relevant options during checkout.
- Selective Visibility of Payment Methods:
- Depending on the currency selected by the customer, the corresponding payment methods are displayed. This ensures that customers in different regions or using different currencies are presented with the most suitable payment options for their location.
- Supports Multiple Payment Methods:
- The add-on is compatible with all payment methods supported by CS-Cart, including "direct payments" available in Multi-Vendor PLUS and Multi-Vendor Ultimate versions.
How It Works:
- Installation and Setup:
- After installing the ss_currency_pay add-on, store administrators can go to the payment methods configuration section in the Admin panel to assign specific currencies to each payment method.
- Payment Method Configuration:
- When configuring a payment method, a new option appears that allows you to select the currencies for which the payment method should be available. For example, you may set a payment method to be available only for USD and EUR, but not for MXN or PLN.
- Currency Selection by Customer:
- During the checkout process, when the customer selects a currency, the system automatically adjusts the available payment methods based on the configuration set by the administrator.
- For example, if a Mexican customer selects MXN as the currency, they may only see payment options that are valid for transactions in MXN, such as local bank transfer or a local payment provider. However, if the customer selects USD as the currency, they may see options like credit card payments or PayPal.
- Example Scenarios:
- MXN Currency (Mexico): If a Mexican customer chooses MXN, only payment methods that accept MXN will be visible (e.g., local bank transfers).
- PLN Currency (Poland): A customer selecting PLN will only see payment methods configured for PLN, such as bank transfer. If the currency is anything else, the system will display payment methods like credit card payment.
- USD Currency (United States): For customers selecting USD, payment methods like credit cards, PayPal, and other relevant methods will be shown.
Benefits:
- Improved Customer Experience:
- By showing only relevant payment options, customers are not confused by irrelevant methods. It simplifies the checkout process, improving the overall shopping experience.
- Customization for Global Stores:
- If your store sells internationally, this feature is essential for managing payments in different currencies and ensuring that each customer sees only the options that are valid for their currency.
- Seamless Integration with Multi-Vendor:
- The add-on works smoothly with Multi-Vendor editions, allowing store owners to set up payment methods based on different currencies for different vendors in the marketplace.
- Flexible Payment System:
- This feature provides flexibility by allowing you to offer different payment methods tailored to each country or currency, increasing the likelihood that customers will complete their purchase.
Example Configuration:
- Set Payment Methods for Specific Currencies:
- Suppose you offer payment methods like Bank Transfer, Credit Card, and PayPal. You can configure the Bank Transfer method to be available only for customers using PLN currency, while PayPal and Credit Card methods can be set for USD or EUR customers.
- Visibility Based on Currency:
- When a customer selects MXN (Mexican Peso), only the payment methods that accept MXN will be visible (e.g., local bank transfer).
- If the customer switches to USD, they may see different payment options, like credit card payments or PayPal.
- Multi-Vendor Support:
- In Multi-Vendor setups, each vendor can have their own payment method configurations, and these will also depend on the customer’s selected currency. This allows vendors to manage payments in a way that suits their business model and customer base.
Conclusion:
The ss_currency_pay extension is an essential tool for any CS-Cart or Multi-Vendor store that operates across multiple regions and currencies. By configuring payment methods based on currency selection, store owners can ensure that customers only see relevant payment options, enhancing the shopping experience and making checkout simpler and more efficient. This add-on also offers flexibility for global and multi-vendor stores, providing an effective solution for currency-specific payment method management.
Extension to CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor allows restricting available payment methods when finalizing order, depending on currency selected by customer. This way, we can set which payment methods are visible depending on currency.
We start from installing an extension:
During configuration of payment method we can select currencies, for which payment is available. In this example, we have three methods, each with different currencies set.
In below example, Mexican customer which is using MXN currency will have USD payment available.
Depending on currency selected by customer, respective payment methods will be visible. In below example, if customer has PLN selected, he will see only bank transfer payment.
Any other currency will result in disabling bank transfer and displaying credit card payment.
Add-on works correctly with all payment methods, and "direct payments" available in Multi-Vendor PLUS and Multi-Vendor Ultimate.
