Considerations

...

1. Platform wide change, this should work on every market;

Identify Payment Methods as Online or Physical Payment

We should identify on both Frontend (WhitelabelApp) and in the backend (Payment Service). The main implementation and first barrier should be the frontend (hidding the Physical Payments from the payment methods dropdown). In other hand, the backend should grant that, even somehow the Frontend allow the Physical Payment, it will be blocked.

Frontend: Add onlinePayment at Payment Method Interface

1. Add a new property called onlinePayment at this interface

2. Update the constants that implement this interface adding the onlinePayment method here, the configuration should be:

3. Create a new method to verify if a payment type is online or not. This method should grant that cash will always be considered false regardless the configuration. (as you can see, there’s no configuration for cash in the table above, that represents the state/payment/constats.ts file)

1. This should only affect delivery orders.

Rules Implementation

1. Rule 1 - First Order Physical Payment Limit

   For the first order with a value >= X €, only online payment will be allowed, where X is configurable. The initial intention is to set it to 20 €.

   Questions:

   • How can we identify the first order of a user? Is there any mechanism in place?

   Solution

   We can get advantage of gateway query getUserOrders, this query returns all orders from the logged user with a count. We query this when the browser loads the payment method screen. This is the response:

   Image Removed

   ^{New user without any order.}

2. Rule 2 - Physical Payment Amount Limit

   For subsequent orders with a value >= X €, only online payment will be allowed, where X is configurable. The initial intention is to set it to 50 euros.

   Solution:

   We already have a cash payment limit, but it’s only for cash. We should create a new flag to all Physical Payments and verify before we show the payment methods dropdown to our customer, removing all physical payment.

   1. Create feature flag for this limit

   2. Evaluate when creating PaymetMethods

3. Rule 3 - Repeated Delivery Failure

...

If the last order was paid in Physical Payments and there was a delivery failure (e.g. a joke order), the next order will only allow online payment
