WP Desk Active Payments is a popular WooCommerce extension designed to bridge a gap in the standard WooCommerce setup: the lack of native “conditional logic” for checkout options.

This is the “bread and butter” of the plugin. You can create a matrix of rules so that:
Cash on Delivery (COD) only shows up if the customer selects “Courier” or “Local Pickup.”
PayPal or Stripe are hidden if the customer chooses a specific shipping zone or method that you’ve determined is too risky or expensive for those gateways.
WooCommerce doesn’t let you charge extra for specific payment methods by default. This plugin allows you to:
Add a fixed fee (e.g., $2.00) or a percentage fee (e.g., 2.9%) to a specific gateway.
This is commonly used to pass on transaction costs from providers like PayPal or to add a surcharge for the extra handling involved in COD orders.
You can disable specific payment methods if the cart total is too high or too low.
Example: Disable “Cash on Delivery” for any order over $500 to mitigate the risk of high-value non-collection.
Reduced Friction: You prevent customers from choosing a payment method that isn’t compatible with their shipping (e.g., trying to pay “Cash on Delivery” for a digital download or an international shipment).
Cost Management: By adding fees to expensive gateways, you protect your margins.
Integration: It integrates seamlessly with Flexible Shipping (another flagship WP Desk plugin), which is widely used for table-rate shipping.
Compatibility: Works with standard WooCommerce gateways and most third-party ones (Stripe, PayPal, PayU, Przelewy24, etc.).
Invoicing: Fees added by the plugin are compatible with Flexible PDF Invoices, ensuring they show up correctly on tax documents.
