Magento Extension – PaymentFilter for Products and Customer Groups – Assign payment to a customer group

We would like to pay the bill only option on certain customer groups set up. For this purpose, we searched for a matching extension and found a very appropriate after a short search on Magento veteran Rico Neitzel. After installing the extension “PaymentFilter for Products and Customer Groups” über Magento Connect, without objection, and the fine on Magento 1.5.1.0 worked, could be among clients > Customer groups, customer groups, assign payment. Easy and convenient. Can also be set for products themselves, product which can be paid as.

What struck directly: PayPal probably due to the outsourcing of the payment of the remaining Zahlunsgarten- does not appear there on. In addition, post installed extension “Cash on delivery” was not shown. Consequently, it was no longer going with this group of customers to checkout payment methods.

Since this is unfortunately not enough for us, I uninstalled the extension from Magento Connect again, which worked out wonderfully. But then fell to, that no credit could be created more. If you go to in an order on “Credit” clicked it gave the error message “There has been an error processing your request Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons. Error log record number: XYZ“. After calling the corresponding log file (in our /var / report) there was u.a. following description “a:5:{the:0;s:73:”Invalid backend model specified: payfilter/entity_backend_payment_methods”;the:1;s:7705:”#0” This error appears to be linked with the Payment filter extension.

There was a small lump in the database, can be deleted but the quick and easy:

In the database, the table “eav_attribute” Open and locate the entry payfilter / entity_backend_payment_methods (stands in the entry backend_model). Delete the entire entry. Mglw. Clear cache and then everything should work again. As always with database changes: Be absolutely sure, always best to make a database backup BEFORE you changed something.

Fazit: The extension is the great principle. Installs easily, is free, well designed, compatible with many Magentoversionen are unfortunately only a few places still do not match. Should these be improved, The extension is reinstalled 🙂

Used in Magento Version 1.5.1.0 Comments? Additions? Notes? Gladly!
