Do you offer Convenience Store Payment on your Shopify store, but find yourself wanting to temporarily hide it as a payment option when an order amount is too high, or conversely too low? For example, you might be concerned about the risk of non-payment on high-value convenience store payment orders, or you might want to weigh fees against very small orders.
This article explains, using Shopify's features, how to automatically stop showing the Convenience Store Payment option on the checkout page when specific order-amount conditions are met (for example, when the subtotal is ¥300,000 or more, or under ¥50,000). Let's aim for more flexible management of payment options with this setup.
What Is Convenience Store Payment
Convenience Store Payment is a payment method that lets customers pay cash for items purchased at an EC store at convenience stores nationwide, such as 7-Eleven or Lawson.
It is commonly used by younger customers who don't have a credit card, and by customers who prefer not to enter credit card details online.
In Japan, Convenience Store Payment can be introduced on Shopify through payment service providers such as KOMOJU, SB Payment Service, and GMO Epsilon.
By offering these payment methods, customers who don't have a credit card can also complete payment, which improves the purchase experience and helps prevent cart abandonment.
How to Hide Convenience Store Payment Under Specific Conditions
In this section, we'll introduce how to use RuffRuff Order Limits to "automatically hide KOMOJU's Convenience Store Payment when the cart subtotal is ¥300,000 or more".
This method can also be applied with payment service providers other than KOMOJU, so please use it as a reference.
Step 1: Install the App
First, install RuffRuff Order Limits, introduced above, from the Shopify App Store.
You can find "RuffRuff Order Limits" by searching "ruffruff" in the Shopify App Store. Once you're on the RuffRuff Order Limits app page, click "Install".
Step 2: Select a Plan
The payment rule used in this article is available on the Light plan or higher. Choose Light or Full based on your billing period and whether you also need cumulative quantity rules. Annual billing saves the equivalent of two months. See the pricing plans for details.
(1) Select "Pricing plans" in the app
(2) Click "Change plan" for the plan you want to subscribe to
(3) Review the plan details and click "Approve"
Step 3: Create a Payment Rule
Once you've upgraded your plan, set up a payment rule. Use a payment rule to configure "hide Convenience Store Payment for specific products".
(1) Go to the checkout page
(2) Copy the display name of "Convenience Store Payment" on the checkout page
In this case, that is the text "Convenience Store Payment"
ℹ️ Because RuffRuff Order Limits' logic for hiding payment methods relies on "text matching", you need to register the exact payment method name shown on the checkout page in the payment rule.
(3) Select "Payment rules" in the app
(4) Click "Create rule"
(5) Enter any rule name in the title
(6) In the payment methods section, add the display name of "Convenience Store Payment" that you copied in (2)
(7) In the Orders section, enter "300,000" as the minimum price
(8) Choose how the amount is calculated (in this case, select before shipping, tax, and discounts are applied)
(9) Click "Save"
(10) Click "Enable" in the top right of the screen
(11) A confirmation dialog appears, so click "Enable"
Step 5: Verify It Works
(1) Go to the checkout page while the cart's pre-discount subtotal is under ¥300,000
(2) Go to the checkout page and confirm that Convenience Store Payment is NOT hidden
(3) Go to the checkout page while the cart's pre-discount subtotal is ¥300,000 or more
(4) Go to the checkout page and confirm that Convenience Store Payment IS hidden
In Conclusion
In this article, we introduced concrete steps for using RuffRuff Order Limits to control the display of Convenience Store Payment based on order amount.
With this setup, you can, for example, restrict the choice of Convenience Store Payment for high-value purchases, or conversely allow Convenience Store Payment only for purchases above a certain amount, enabling fine-grained handling tailored to your store's operating policy. This can help reduce the risk of non-payment, promote a smoother purchase experience for customers, and steer customers toward specific payment methods.
We hope this guide helps you run a more efficient and secure online store.
