Sometimes the online store owners need to restrict certain payment methods. In the eCommerce business, all the payment options are not suitable for every product. For example, you want to restrict cash on delivery payment option for products below $99.

But, in default Prestashop, you can enable or disable payment methods by currencies, customer groups, country restrictions, and carriers which may not be enough to manage your payment process as per your business needs.
