Why Might You Want to Set Up WooCommerce Role-based Payment Methods?

These are a few reasons you might want to set up WooCommerce role-based payment methods.

Wholesale Customers or B2B Buyers: If your WooCommerce store caters to wholesale and retail customers, you might plan to set up WooCommerce payments by user roles. You can set up different payment methods for both user roles. 

Offline Payment Options for Trusted Customers: If you have some long-term or trusted customers, you can offer them an exclusive payment method, which isn’t offered to other users. You can enable this for specific users of your WooCommerce store. For instance, you can enable COD for them, which isn’t available for other users. 

Different Payment Terms for Different Groups of Customers: You can set up different payment options for different user groups based on their purchase behavior. For instance, you can enable cash on delivery for long-term customers. 

These are why you might want to set up WooCommerce role-based payment methods. Offering varied payment options to different user roles helps you improve the user experience and relations with your customers.
