Limit on first order using Physical Payment

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:

^{New user without any order.}

When this count is 0, we don’t show Physical Payments.
