Easy Digital Downloads Conditional Gateways

Description

The Conditional Gateways addon adds a new section to the Easy Digital Downloads product edit screen, letting you enable or disable payment gateways on a per-download basis. With this extension, the payment methods shown at checkout depend on what’s in the customer’s cart, so you can define exactly which options appear for each digital product sold in your store.

Benefits of Conditional Gateways

• A cleaner checkout for customers
  Shows only the methods relevant to the product being purchased, reducing friction at the final step.
• Commercial flexibility by product
  Reserve specific gateways for premium items, new releases, or segmented catalogs.
• Lower transaction fees
  Route sales to the lowest-cost gateway based on the type of download being sold.

Who Is It For?

• Easy Digital Downloads stores with products that require different payment rules.
• Digital businesses selling to both international and local audiences through different gateways.
• Sellers who want to cut transaction costs by routing products to specific gateways.

Built for digital store owners who need fine-grained checkout rules, the Conditional Gateways extension turns payment control into a per-product decision. Because everything is configured directly in the Download editor, there’s no need for custom hooks or extra plugins, so you can match the payment experience to the sales strategy behind every item in your catalog.
