A while ago I successfully hid the checkmo payment method from frontend only by setting the variable canUseCheckout to false via preference:
-- V/M/etc/di.xml <preference for="Magento\OfflinePayments\Model\Checkmo" type="V\M\Model\Checkmo" /> -- V/M/Model/Checkmo.php class Checkmo extends \Magento\OfflinePayments\Model\Checkmo { protected $_canUseInternal = true; protected $_canUseCheckout = false; } This has always worked fine until recently when we have upgraded our magento from 244 version to 246 and we also switched from cloud to community.
I don't know if it was the upgrade or the migration from cloud to community, but this preference is not working anymore. More than that, the preference gets ignored completely:
class Checkmo extends \Magento\OfflinePayments\Model\Checkmo { protected $_canUseInternal = true; protected $_canUseCheckout = false; public function canUseCheckout() // this method is never called, only the original method from magento Checkmo class. { //return $this->_canUseCheckout; return false; } Is there a way to have this working again?
