How to Use the Tag Option

Tag options

Overview

The Tag option in the Payment Gateway per Product plugin allows you to control which payment methods are available during checkout based on product tags.

This gives you a powerful and flexible way to manage payment gateways across multiple products — without needing complex rules or custom code.

Why Use Tags for Payment Gateways?

Using tags helps you:

• Apply payment rules to multiple products at once

• Quickly manage large product catalogs

• Create targeted checkout experiences

• Simplify store management

For example, you can assign a specific payment gateway to all products tagged as “Digital”, “Subscription”, or “High Risk”.

---

How It Works

Once enabled, the plugin checks the tags assigned to the product and determines which payment gateways should be available at checkout.

• If a product has a matching tag configuration → the selected payment gateways will be shown

• If no match is found → the default WooCommerce payment gateways will be used

How to Enable the Tag Option

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard

2. Navigate to: WooCommerce → Settings → Payment Gateways (or plugin settings)

3. Locate the Tag option

4. Enable the option by checking the “Enable” checkbox

5. Save your settings

Configuring Payment Gateways by Tag

After enabling the Tag option:

1. Open the payment gateway you want to configure

2. Find the Tag settings section

3. Choose whether to:

   • Include tags → only products with these tags will use this gateway

   • Exclude tags → products with these tags will NOT use this gateway

4. Select one or multiple tags

5. Save your configuration

Example Use Case

Let’s say you only want to allow PayPal for digital products:

• Assign the tag “Digital” to your products

• Configure PayPal to include the “Digital” tag

✅ Result: Only PayPal will be available at checkout for those products.

---

Default Behavior (Important)

If no payment gateway matches the selected tag configuration:

👉 The plugin will automatically fall back to your default WooCommerce payment gateways

This ensures that your checkout process always remains functional and uninterrupted.

Best Practices

• Use clear and consistent tag names

• Avoid overlapping include/exclude rules across multiple gateways

• Test your checkout after making changes

• Combine tag rules with product or category rules for advanced setups
