Re: Activate (or deactivate) PayPal for certain markets

Activate (or deactivate) PayPal for certain markets

Hi

We'd like to activate PayPal, but only for certain markets to increase international conversion rates.  We've been told that Shopify does not support this feature, is there any way to activate this ourselves with some custom code? 

I'm guessing the solution will be activating it as a payment solution, and then disabling (hiding?) it on a per-market basis.  Any help much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello @plfunkymusic 

 

Is it oky by country

If yes, then you can find apps available on Shopify now to control payment method by country. 

 

Not sure by market but it should have option by currency as well.

I hadn't seen those solutions.  They appear to intercept your payment method (at least one of them does) and give a different page - which looks much less genuine if I understand their ads correctly.  I really just want to show/hide the PayPal button in all the places it appears based on currency

Upto cart page you can hide PayPal button by liquid code {{ cart.currency.iso_code }} and check currency equal to your currency.

Well, you can show PayPal for certain countries and hide from others with PayRules: Hide Payment Methods app. Here are the steps you need to follow:

 

  1. Choose PayPal from the Select payment methods field.
  2. Select Hide if not found and choose your desired countries where PayPal should be shown.

According to the above screenshot, if the customers select Australia, Canada or New Zealand as their shipping country, only then they can able to see the PayPal as a payment option at the checkout page. Hope it helps, thanks.
