Sometimes you might need to disable PayPal for non-local customers or enable a specific gateway for only one country. Either way, this is a very common requirement for all of those who trade internationally.
Here’s a simple PHP snippet you can further customize to achieve your objective. Simply pick the payment gateway “slug” you want to disable/enable (“paypal”, “authorize”, “stripe”, etc.), use the country code (US, ES, IE, etc.) and then apply your conditional rules in the function.php or new plugin.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_available_payment_gateways', codeamend_payment_gateway_disable_country);
function codeamend_payment_gateway_disable_country( $available_gateways ) {
if ( is_admin() ) return $available_gateways;
if ( isset( $available_gateways['authorize'] ) && WC()->customer->get_billing_country() <> 'US' ) {
unset( $available_gateways['authorize'] );
} else {
if ( isset( $available_gateways['paypal'] ) && WC()->customer->get_billing_country() == 'US' ) {
unset( $available_gateways['paypal'] );
}
}
return $available_gateways;
}
