Pay in Store

The problem

When a shopper picks "collect in store" instead of home delivery, showing them a full page of online payment methods, credit card, PayPal, and the rest, is backwards: they are about to hand over cash or a card at the counter anyway. Most stores end up either forcing an online payment they did not need, or manually hiding payment methods per shipping rule with a general purpose extension not built for this case.

How it works

Nextbyte Pay in Store is a plain offline payment method that runs one simple check before it ever shows up: is the shipping method on this order a collect in store type, identified by its carrier code. If not, the method is invisible, exactly as if the module were not installed at all. There is no configuration flag pointing at another module and no hard dependency on Nextbyte Click & Collect either, any shipping method registered under a matching carrier code makes it eligible.

What the store owner sees

In admin, it behaves like any other offline payment method: a title you can rename to fit your brand voice, an Enabled switch, a sort order, and an instructions field shown to the shopper once they select it. Orders placed against it sit in a normal pending state until someone on the till marks them paid and invoices them, the same manual flow used for any offline method already.

What the shopper sees

At checkout, the method only appears once a pickup style shipping method is selected, with whatever title and instructions the store configured, for example "Pay at the counter when you collect it." No card form, no redirect, just a place order button, because payment happens in person.
