Limit payment method by MOS

Michele Keutsch
$organization

We are looking at a partnership with AMEX and of course they want only AMEX as a possible payment method so we need to limit our Internet-AMEX mode of sale to only allow AMEX cards. Is there a way to do this, while still allowing our regular Internet MOS to accept all other cards?

    Hi Michele,

    We have run into the same challenge. Unfortunately, I do not know of any native way to do this. We implemented a custom table and procedure that we exposed via the REST API to handle this sort of thing.

    Here is an overview of what we did:

    (1) I built a custom table that ties specific payment methods to MOS. I create a row in this table for the MOS we're using for AMEX-only promotions to only have an AMEX payment method.

    (2) We define all other rules in the table, including default handling so that we don't have to literally define rules for every MOS.

    (3) When we have an AMEX promo code that changes the user's session to the special MOS.

    (4) During checkout, we call our custom procedure that incorporates the custom table to identify payment methods instead of the standard SOAP API call.

    That solution has worked well for us. I'd be happy to share the table and procedure code if that would be helpful.

    Thanks,
    David

    Do you use TNEW?  I can't remember which version it came with (we are on v5.5 of TNEW) but there is a system table called LTR_TNEW_DYN_PAYMENT_METHOD that should do just that.  We haven't used it so I can't speak to how it works in action but it's there to limit payment methods for the web.

    Hope that helps!

    No, we are not TNEW.

    As Jenny mentioned, the LTR_TNEW_DYN_PAYMENT_METHOD table works great for this.

    If you want to email me offline, I’m happy to point you to the event we currently have built and explain how we did it. It uses an AMEX-specific price type and MOS as well as allocations and promo code(s), but not all of those pieces are necessary.
