• Recurring Products: Manual payment methods will not appear at checkout if a recurring product is part of the order.
• Payment Collection: The collect order flow is applicable only for manual payment method orders. Once an order is marked as paid, this status cannot be reverted.

• Simultaneous Setup: Both Cash on Delivery and Custom Payment Methods can be set up simultaneously.
