Can I create an exclusive checkout for select email addresses?

Well, you can make your checkout payment options only accessible to the selected customers with PayRules: Hide Payment Methods app by utilizing customer tags. For instance, you can give your selected 40 customers a specific tag and then only the customers with that tag can see and use your payment method at the checkout page. Here are the steps you need to follow:

  1. Choose your checkout method (Invoice for example) from the Select payment methods or Additional payment methods field.
  2. Choose Hide if not found under the Customer tags field.
  3. Now enter the customer tag (Selected for example) under the Customer tags field.

Hope it serves. Thank you.
