How to Get Payment Methods in WooCommerce

When you are developing a plugin or theme for WooCommerce, you may be required to get payment methods for a variety of logic.

For example in my recent redirect after checkout WooCommerce plugin development, I needed to create a condition to redirect WooCommerce users after checkout based on the payment method they used in the checkout.

In such a case there is a need for you as a WooCommerce developer to create a function that gets all the activated payment method and then displays it for the users to select in the backend or uses it in certain logic.

In my case, I needed to display the payment methods in a drop-down select list for the user to select one payment method that is applied to the condition, as you can see in the image below:

If you are looking for the code on how to get a payment method in WooCommerce, this is a good tutorial to quickly give you an idea of how you can get it done.

To get all the payment methods you need to use the WC() and the payment_gateways() method.

You can save these payment methods in a variable and return an array that you can go ahead and use in the select field.

The following is the code example of how to get payment methods in WooCommerce.

/**
 * Get all payment methods 
 */
  function njengah_get_payment_method_options() {
    $gateways = WC()->payment_gateways->payment_gateways();

    $options = array();

    foreach ( $gateways as $id => $gateway ) {
      $options[$id] = $gateway->get_method_title();
    }

    return $options;
  }

This function returns an array of the available payment methods and you can go ahead and use it to display the payment methods in a drop-down as follows :

/**
 *  Display all payment methods in a select display drop down & save as post meta
 */
  function njengah_display_payment_methods(){

    $selected_payment_method = get_post_meta($post_id ,'njengah_payment_method',  true);
    
    ?>
      <select name="njengah_payment_method" class="select_field"> 
              <option selected="selected" disabled="disabled" value=" "><?php echo esc_attr( __( 'Select Payment Method' ) ); ?></option> 
              <?php
                  $paymentmethods =  njengah_get_payment_method_options(); 
                  foreach ( $paymentmethods as $payment_id => $method_title ) {
                      $option = '<option value="' . $payment_id . '" ';
                      $option .= ( $payment_id  ==  $selected_payment_method ) ? 'selected="selected"' : '';
                      $option .= '>';
                      $option .= $method_title ;
                      $option .= '</option>';
                      echo $option;
                  }
              ?>
          </select>
  
  <?php 
  }

As you can see I am calling the first function in the second function in order to display the payment methods and I am loping through the value of the first function which contains all the payment methods.

You also need to understand in this case I am saving using update_post_meta() but you can also save using the update_option() function if you are not using these methods in the context of a post.
