How to disable payment method for certain customer groups in Magento 2. you might often need to disable some payment methods for some customer groups to provide a particular payment method for VIP customers. when such time arrives, you would want to do it the right way.

Magento 2 Default functionality Customer groups determine which discounts are available and the tax class that is associated with the group. The default customer groups are General, Not Logged In, and Wholesale.

#### Steps to Disable a Payment Method for Certain Customer Groups

How to disable a payment method for a customer group in Magento 2, you’ll first need to create a simple Module.

Here we are using **Dolphin** as Vendor name and **MyModule** as the name of a module. You can change this according to your Vendor and Module name.

#### Step 1: Create Registration
Create **registration.php** file in the **app/code/Dolphin/MyModule** folder with the following code.

```
<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
    'Dolphin_MyModule',
    __DIR__
);
```

#### Step 2: Create a module
Create a **module.xml** file in the **app/code/Dolphin/MyModule/etc** folder with the following code.

```
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="Dolphin_MyModule" setup_version="1.0.0"></module>
</config>
```

#### Step 3: Create Events/xml File
Create an **events.xml** file in the folder **app/code/Dolphin/MyModule/etc** and use event **payment\_method\_is\_active** which will be called Payment method active.

```
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
    <event name="payment_method_is_active">
        <observer name="dolphin_payment_disable" instance="Dolphin\Mymodule\Observer\PaymentMethodDisable" />
    </event>
</config>
```

Here you declare an observer named **PaymentMethodDisable** that will handle the event **payment\_method\_is\_active** which Magento dispatches every time payment method is active.

Now we need to create an Observer as defined in the [**events.xml** file](https://developer.adobe.com/commerce/php/development/components/events-and-observers/)

Read this: [Get All Payment Methods in Magento 2](https://dolphinwebsolution.com/get-all-payment-methods-in-magento-2)

#### Step 4: Create Observer File
Now, we need to create the Observer **PaymentMethodDisable.php** file in the **app/code/Dolphin/MyModule/Observer** with the following code.

```
<?php
namespace Dolphin\MyModule\Observer;

use Magento\Framework\Event\Observer;
use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;

class PaymentMethodDisable implements ObserverInterface
{
    /**
     * @var \Magento\Customer\Model\Session
     */
    protected $_customerSession;

    /**
     * @param \Magento\Customer\Model\Session $customerSession
     */
    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Customer\Model\Session $customerSession
    ) {
        $this->_customerSession = $customerSession;
    }

    public function execute(Observer $observer)
    {
        $payment_method_code = $observer->getEvent()->getMethodInstance()->getCode();
        if ($payment_method_code == 'payroll')
        {
            $result = $observer->getEvent()->getResult();
            if ($this->_customerSession->isLoggedIn())
            {
                $customerGroupId = $this->_customerSession->getCustomer()->getGroupId();
                if ($customerGroupId == 1)
                {
                    $result->setData('is_available', false);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
```

**Session** will extend core class **`Magento\Framework\Session\SessionManager`** to handle the session.

Get the customer details- ***$this->\_customerSession->getCustomer()->getId();*** will give you current customer id, You can also get customer’s other details ***$customerData->getData()*.**

Now setup the module.To setup module first time, we execute below command:

```
[dt_highlight color="" text_color="" bg_color=""]php bin/magento s:up[/dt_highlight]
[dt_highlight color="" text_color="" bg_color=""]php bin/magento s:s:d -f[/dt_highlight]
[dt_highlight color="" text_color="" bg_color=""]php bin/magento c:c[/dt_highlight]
```
