1. Overview
Magento Shipping and Payment Per Customer Group enables admin to set up different shipping and payment methods for various groups of customers. Once set up in the backend, only chosen methods display for particular customer groups in the shipping and payment process in the frontend.
This extension permits admin to satisfy their customers by providing their customers the most suitable products in the neatest organization.

To customize shipping methods for each specific customer group, follow steps below: Go to Admin Panel ⇒ Advanced Shipping/Payment Methods ⇒ Payment methods
After that, a screen appears showing many payment methods for admin to make configuration.
NOTE: Before making configuration, you must first consider the Current scope for your configuration. Right in the top, there is a “current scope” box, in which there have two options:
- Admin: If you choose the current scope to be Admin, the configuration runs in all of your websites.
- Main website: The configuration is only applied on the main website.

In order to set up any payment method for customer group(s),
