[edit] Switching Rules
| This module provides the flexibility to configure switching rules in two distinct manners. First, priority is given to client group rules, where assignments within a WHMCS client group take precedence. If a client belongs to a group with assigned rules, the allocation is determined based on these specifications. |
[edit] Gateway Switches
| 'Gateways Switches' tab allows you to define basic switching rules per payment gateway. You will find there a list of all active gateways in your system. Precise instructions on how to create allocation rules can be found in the Creating New Switching Rules section below. |
|
[edit] Client Groups
| Once you proceed to this section you will instantly see all the available in your WHMCS client groups (more here). Here you may define the payment gateway switching rules per each client group. You may assign rules to all your client groups or only some of them. Remember to set the client group status to 'Enabled', otherwise, the group rules will not be taken into account when allocating the payment gateway. Press the "+" button to manage the selected group switching rules. |
|
| As you can see on the screen below, available payment gateways have no switching rules created yet. Create rules, manage or copy existing rules between payment gateways. Precise instructions on how to create rules can be found in the Creating New Switching Rules section right below. |
|
[edit] Creating New Switching Rules
| All the described below steps to create switching rules are accurate for both the 'Gateway Switches' and 'Client Groups'. To limit access to a selected payment gateway, press the '+' button. |
|
| Select a country and state (optional). The gateway will be available for clients who make purchases in that region only.
Press 'Add' to complete. |
|
| Repeat the process for all gateways you wish to limit. Use action buttons to edit rules or delete them. |
|
| Perform the above steps for all active gateways that you wish to use. You may add rules per single gateway manually or copy rules from another gateway. To do so, simply press the marked button and choose the gateway whose rules you are going to copy. Remember to save the changes when ready. |
|
|
| Edit the rule, to move to the gateway settings. |
|
There define the gateway rules type:
Define the invoice threshold per enabled currency, provide the invoice value, and mark 'Greater' or 'Lower' to specify the rule performance. |

[edit] Payment Gateways On The Order Form
| Payment Gateway Allocator For WHMCS affects only client area. Let's take a look at how the addon affects the payment process. |
| Case One: 'Credit Card Per Country / State' and 'Redirect Per Country / State' payment methods have been activated. |
|
| In 'Setting' section option 'Module Gateway Only' has been selected together with two default gateways for 'Credit Card' and 'Redirection' payments. |
|
Consequently, client may now choose only between:
|
|
| Case Two: In another scenario, in 'Settings' section of the module 'Apply Switching Rules' option is selected. |
|
| In 'Gateway Switches' section, there is a rule forcing clients from United States to pay with '2CheckOut' payment gateway. |
|
| Consequently, client Test Tester, who is from USA, has no choice, but to pay with the enforced by the admin payment gateway. |
|
| In a similar scenario, for an unlogged customer intending to create a new account with the selected country set as the United States, the available payment gateway will be '2CheckOut' as well. However, should the client choose another country, the list of available payment gateways will automatically refresh based on any detected switching rules. |
| Case Three: To allow all gateways in the client area, proceed to the addon → 'Settings' page and clear the settings. |
|
| Let's check payment options in the client area once again. Now, your clients are able to pay using every active payment gateway. However, when selecting 'Pay With Credit Card' or 'Proceed To Payment' option, client will be redirected to a gateway keeping any switching rules. |
|
| If you wish to hide only part of the gateways, for example only those for which switching rules are set, proceed to 'Setup' → 'Payments' → 'Payment Gateways'. Afterwards, uncheck 'Show On Order Form' checkbox next to the desired gateway and press 'Save Changes'. Repeat this step for each gateway you wish to hide from the client area. |
|
| Case Four: 'Authorize.net' gateway is marked as 'Allowed' for added rules. |
|
| Taking into account the above gateways settings and rules, a client from USA is allowed to choose among three gateways as visible on the screen below: |
|
| The same settings and rules bring the following consequences for a client from Russian Federation, that is, such client is allowed to use only one payment gateway. |
|
[edit] Tips
| 1. If you wish to forbid card payment or redirect payment, deactivate the related gateway in 'Setup' → 'Payments' → 'Payment Gateways'. |
| 2. In order to enable a gateway for all countries, simply set the single gateway 'Rules Type' to Blocked. |
