Make a Payment Method only visible in admin

[Encaps]

Hi, I'd like to make the Purchase Order payment method only visible in admin order creations and not in the front end checkout process. Could I please have some guidance as to what needs amending for me to be able to achieve this. Thanks

Hello,

Dear @Encaps,

If you want show Purchase Order payment method only backend, you just need to declare "protected $_canUseCheckout              = false;" in the file: app\code\core\Mage\Payment\Model\Method\Purchaseorder.php so Purchase Order cannot work on frontend. 
And vice versa you can declare "protected $_canUseInternal   = false;" in class Mage_Payment_Model_Method_Purchaseorder so that Purchase Order cannot work in backend.

Hope you success.

We know this is a programming  related question but if someone is looking for a pre-built extension then below extension should help

https://redchamps.com/payment-methods-for-backend-magento2-extension.html

- It offers 9 payment methods which can be used for backend orders

- It allows you to add payment handling fees(flat/percentage) for these payment methods
