If you have no idea on where to use the functionality of this module, try to think about wholesale customers or buyers from regions where certain payment methods do not work. Thus, you can use Nucleus Customer Group Restrictions to offer additional payment methods to certain customer groups while hiding them from other buyers. As for the main features of the extension, they are:

• Rapid Setup. There are only a few steps necessary to implement payment restrictions.
• Simple Management. All options are available in one place under Stores -> Customer Groups. You can easily select a customer group to disallow payment methods for.
• Purchase Orders. Purchase orders as a payment method is also possible. Disallow it for customer groups that don’t require that payment method.

Backend

Go to Stores -> Other Settings -> Customer Groups. Select a customer group from the grid.

You will be redirected to a new screen. In Group Information options, check the box ‘Disallow select payment methods’ and then select payment methods that should be disallowed for the customer group. Don’t forget to save changes.

Make the same changes for each customer group.
