Easy Digital Downloads Conditional Gateways 1.0.4
Easy Digital Downloads Conditional Gateways, a Wordpress plugin, enables or disables payment gateways on a per-download basis, ensuring checkout matches the cart contents. Boost conversions with flexible payments and precise eligibility, plus easy setup and seamless integration with your store.
Description
Easy Digital Downloads Conditional Gateways is a WordPress plugin for Easy Digital Downloads that helps you control which payment gateways appear during checkout. Instead of using the same payment options for every purchase, you can enable or disable gateways based on the specific download(s) a customer is buying.
This solves a common checkout mismatch problem—when the customer’s cart contains different products than the available payment methods. By aligning gateways with cart contents, it creates a smoother buying flow and clearer payment choices inside your Easy Digital Downloads store.
