Can Attributes determine payment method?

[wlpdrpat]

Hi,

I am using the Authorize.net AIM and the add on Authorize.net ARB (which we have customized a bit to meet our needs).

I am wondering if product attributes can be used (or something else within the Admin) to determine which Payment Modules will be available on the payment page?

The reason I ask is that we have some products that are for single purchase but we have added attributes to make them into Subscription. However, in either case (single purchase or subscription) both payment methods are visible when you get to the checkout.

We were going to try to add some "if" statements to the payment modules that would look at the attributes of the products but it appear that the payment page doesn't depend on the cart content, so it will always display all payment methods that are activated.

So, I am wondering if there is a trick to this from within the Admin or if you can point me in the right direction in regards to which files would be involved for making this customization?

Thanks,
Pat

There are no admin "tricks". You'll have to hard-code your customizations directly, and update them anytime you alter your attribute options later.
