If a **WooCommerce payment gateway is not showing** at checkout, confirm: (1) the gateway is **Enabled** under **WooCommerce → Settings → Payments**, (2) API keys/webhooks are valid and the gateway is not stuck in test mode mismatch, (3) store **currency** and customer **billing/shipping country** are supported, (4) the site is served over **HTTPS** when the gateway requires it, (5) no shipping/total edge case hides methods (zero-total, local pickup only), (6) **Checkout Block** supports that gateway—or fall back to classic shortcode checkout. Related: checkout configuration · [shipping troubleshooting](https://maksut.net/woocommerce-checkout-wrong-shipping-cost). --- ## Checklist (run in order) 1. **Payments settings** WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → enable the method. Open its settings: title visible, “Enable” checked, environment (test/live) intentional. 2. **Credentials and account status** Reconnect OAuth/API keys. Suspended PSP accounts or incomplete onboarding often remove the method with little UI warning—check the gateway’s own dashboard. 3. **Currency and country** Many gateways hide themselves when the store currency or shopper country is unsupported. Test with a supported address; confirm WooCommerce → Settings → General currency. 4. **HTTPS and mixed content** Force SSL at checkout. Broken certificates or HTTP assets can block modern gateways. 5. **Cart conditions** Some methods require a minimum total, physical shipping, or specific product types. Virtual-only carts may hide COD; free $0 carts may hide card gateways. 6. **Classic vs Checkout Block** Not every gateway is block-compatible. If the method appears on shortcode checkout but not on the block, use a compatible extension or temporarily switch the Checkout page to `[woocommerce_checkout]` while you migrate. ## Symptoms → likely cause | What you see | Likely cause | | --- | --- | | No gateways at all | All disabled; fatal JS error; page not real checkout | | Only COD / BACS show | Card gateway misconfigured or currency unsupported | | Shows in admin preview, not for customers | Test mode, geolocation, role/membership limits | | Disappears after address change | Country restriction or shipping requirement | | Works on desktop, fails mobile | Theme CSS hiding radio list; JS error on mobile | ## Debug without guessing - Switch to a default theme (Storefront/Twenty Twenty-\*) and disable non-Woo plugins except the gateway + SMTP. - Open the browser console on checkout for JS errors. - Place a test order in a private window as a guest. - Confirm order emails still fire after a successful payment, and record the result before removing any gateway or checkout extension. ### Do not “fix” visibility by disabling security wholesale If a firewall blocks PSP webhooks or scripts, allowlist the vendor domains instead of turning off all security plugins on production. ## After it shows: still test the full path Visibility is not completion. Run a live or test payment, confirm the order moves to Processing or Completed, and verify the thank-you page and any redirects. ## FAQ: Payment gateway not showing **Why did my gateway disappear after a WooCommerce update?** Often the gateway plugin needs an update for Checkout Block or API changes. Update the gateway, clear caches, re-save payment settings. **Does Stripe/PayPal need webhooks to appear?** Webhooks mainly affect status sync after payment. Missing webhooks usually do not hide the method, but broken API keys or incomplete onboarding can. **Can shipping zones hide payments?** Indirectly—if checkout cannot calculate shipping, some themes/gateways stall. Fix zones first: wrong shipping cost guide. **Is COD supposed to vanish for virtual products?** Many stores disable COD for virtual-only carts by design. Check gateway availability settings and product types in the cart. **Can you integrate a custom gateway?** Yes—scoped WooCommerce development for PSP integrations, block compatibility, and staging payment tests. ## Need WooCommerce help beyond this fix? Custom checkout, shipping, catalog rules, and store architecture—scoped delivery, not endless hourly tickets.
