Highlights

  • Automated preselection of shipping & payment method

  • Additional field for storing a preferred payment method per customer
  • Avoid unwanted messages
  • Suppress saving of the last selected payment/shipping method

Features

  • Prioritization of shipping and payment methods via additional field
  • Automatic preselection of payment & shipping method in the storefront via prioritization
  • Taking into account a customer-specific payment method stored in the system during pre-selection
  • Hide unwanted messages
  • Suppress saving of the last selected payment/shipping method in order to reprioritize afterwards

It often happens that preselected shipping or payment methods are not available for certain products. In such cases, an error message is displayed by default. Such error messages are undesirable and reduce usability.

We have therefore developed a plugin that offers the following features:

Automated preselection of shipping & payment methods
To prevent error messages when certain delivery or payment methods are unavailable for products, the plugin ensures an automated selection. This is achieved through prioritisation in the backend. A custom order can be set via additional fields in the administration settings, whereby the valid delivery or payment method with the highest priority is automatically selected. This not only prevents error messages but also gives you greater control over your own shop.
In addition, a preferred payment method can be stored for each customer via an additional field. This is taken into account during automatic pre-selection, provided it is available for the current shopping basket. Which payment method is ultimately selected depends on the plugin configuration: depending on the settings, either the most recently used payment method, the one stored for the customer, or the global prioritisation scheme is used. If the preferred payment method is not available, a suitable alternative is automatically selected based on the defined prioritisation scheme.

Hide notification of automatic change of shipping or payment method
Automatically changed settings also trigger push notifications in the storefront. Therefore, a solution has been implemented to hide these messages as well.

Suppress storage of the last selected shipping/payment method
To ensure that the automatic storage of user inputs does not override the shop owner's prioritization, this can be disabled via the plugin configuration.

Installation

  • Open Plugin Manager via Settings > System > Plugins
  • Upload, install, and activate the plugin

Plugin Configuration:

6.7: Extensions > My Extensions > Checkout Shipping Payment Preselection > Configure

Configuration options:
Hide notification of an automatic change of shipping or payment method
Select "Hide" and the standard Shopware notifications about automatic changes will be suppressed.

Use stored payment method of the customer (when logged in)
  • Use the last payment method used by the customer (Priority 1). Fallback 1: Standard payment method from the custom field in the customer profile (Priority 2)
    The customer’s last used payment method will be applied when logged in. If this function is deactivated, the payment method defined in the custom field in the admin for this customer will be used.
  • Ignore and use selection made before login or based on defined prioritization
    The input in the custom field will be ignored. The preselection will then be made based on the manual input of the customer before login or according to the defined prioritization.
  • Use the customer’s standard payment method from the custom field added by the plugin (Priority 1).
    With this setting, the input in the custom field will have the highest priority.
Do not remember used shipping and payment methods after order completion
When this setting is activated, the customer’s entries will not be saved after placing the order.

Version Date Compatibility Changelog
8.1.14 9 July 2026 >=6.7.0.0 <6.8.0.0
  • - Fixed a compatibility issue with Shopware 6.7.12.1 where the `switch()` method signature in `BlockedShippingMethodSwitcher` was incompatible with the updated Shopware core method, which added an optional `?ShippingMethodCollection $shippingMethods` parameter. This caused a PHP Compile Error and took the shop offline.
  • - Fixed a compatibility issue with Shopware 6.7.12.1 where the `switch()` method signature in `BlockedPaymentMethodSwitcher` was incompatible with the updated Shopware core method, which added an optional `?PaymentMethodCollection $paymentMethods` parameter. This caused a PHP Compile Error and took the shop offline.
8.1.13 21 April 2026 >=6.7.0.0 <6.8.0.0
  • - Fixed the issue where the wrong shipping method was selected when the current shipping method became unavailable. The plugin was using an incorrect custom field name (`acris_checkout_payment_preselect_priority` instead of `acris_checkout_shipping_preselect_priority`) for DB-level sorting, and was discarding the core filter that excludes blocked methods. Now the existing criteria filters are preserved and the correct field name is used, ensuring the highest-priority available shipping method is correctly selected.
8.1.12 26 March 2026 >=6.7.0.0 <6.8.0.0
  • - Fixed the issue where the customer login state was not properly reflected in the header after logging out and logging back in. The payment method update during login no longer triggers a full context switch, which could interfere with the session and cause the header to incorrectly display "Login or Register" instead of "Logout".
  • - Fixed the issue where payload values like "false" were incorrectly removed from the sales channel context, which could lead to incorrect preselection behavior.

Nach dem Update auf Shopware 6.4.10.1 wurden die Plugin-Einstellungen im Backend nicht mehr angezeigt. Daher haben wir uns an den Support gewendet.
