Take full control of your payment gateway titles and descriptions to create a smoother, clearer, and more trustworthy checkout experience.
A successful online store isn’t just about selling products — it’s about creating a seamless buying journey.
And the most critical step of that journey? Checkout.
Default payment method names and descriptions can sometimes be technical, unclear, or too generic, which often leads to customer confusion. A small misunderstanding at checkout can be the difference between a completed purchase and an abandoned cart.
With Rename Payment Methods for WooCommerce, you can customize both payment method titles and their descriptions — giving your customers a clearer, friendlier, and more transparent experience.

<h2>Why this extension is essential</h2>
Imagine replacing robotic-sounding labels with human-friendly titles and explanations:
Before: “Direct Bank Transfer”
After: “Bank Transfer — Send your payment securely using online banking”
Before: “Cash on Delivery”
After: “Pay When You Receive Your Order — Simple and secure”
Before: “Stripe”
After: “Credit/Debit Card — Fast & Secure Payments”
Before: “PayPal”
After: “Pay with PayPal — Use your balance or linked cards instantly”
By customizing both the title and the description, you guide your customers confidently through the payment step, making it easier for them to choose the right option without second-guessing.

<li>“Amazon Pay”</li>
</ul>
Not very helpful, right?
With this extension, you could make them far more human-friendly and informative:

<li>“Pay with PayPal — Use your balance or linked cards instantly”</li>

Rename Payment Methods

Rename and customize titles and descriptions for all WooCommerce payment methods — including third-party gateways — to improve clarity, comply with local regulations, and enhance the checkout experience.

<h2>Invoice Payments — Smart, Controlled, and Automated</h2>
Give your customers the flexibility to order now and pay later while you stay in complete control of when invoice payment is available.
• Show or hide the invoice payment method based on user roles, specific customers, or guest users. 
• Restrict availability by country, state, city, or ZIP code. 
• Control access using cart totals, quantity limits, shipping methods, or selected products. 
• Collect Purchase Order (PO) numbers and optional notes directly at checkout. 
• Automatically generate branded PDF invoices and attach them to emails.
<h3>How It Works</h3>
Invoice Payment Method works in two simple layers — basic activation and optional rule-based control.
<ol start="1">
<li>Enable & Start Accepting Invoice Orders Simply enable the invoice payment method from WooCommerce settings, customize the title, description, and order status — and customers can immediately select “Pay by Invoice” at checkout. No complex setup required.</li>
<li>Optional Rule-Based Restrictions If needed, you can create rules to control when the invoice option appears. The system evaluates customer type, location, cart value, products, quantities, and shipping methods in real time to determine eligibility. If the conditions are met, the invoice option is displayed. If not, it remains hidden.</li>
<li>Automated Invoice Processing Once selected, the plugin captures PO numbers and optional notes, assigns the configured order status, generates a branded PDF invoice, and attaches it to customer and admin emails automatically. After configuration, everything runs instantly at checkout, whether you use simple activation or advanced restrictions.</li>
</ol>

<h3>General Settings</h3>
Quickly configure the checkout fields used with the invoice payment method. Enable a Purchase Order (PO) number field and allow customers to add a message for the admin when placing an order.
You can customize field labels, placeholders, and decide whether the PO number should be required or optional. These settings act as global defaults and can also be customized separately inside individual rules for more advanced control.

<h3>PDF Invoice Settings</h3>
Automatically generate professional PDF invoices for orders placed using the invoice payment method. Choose from three built-in invoice templates, including Simple Classic, Modern Minimal, and Professional Bold.
You can further customize invoices with your company logo, invoice numbering prefix, company details, headings, colors, terms and conditions, and footer notes, ensuring every invoice reflects your brand while maintaining a clean professional layout.

<h4 class="ds-markdown-paragraph">Invoice Access Settings</h4>
Control how invoice PDFs are shared with customers and administrators. Automatically attach invoices to customer emails, include them in admin notification emails, and allow customers to download their invoices directly from the My Account orders page.
These options ensure invoices are always accessible while keeping the order workflow smooth and organized.
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006387969" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/invoice-payment-invoice-access.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="332" />
<h4 data-section-id="1or3co6">Flexible Invoice Payment Rules</h4>
Create multiple rules to control when the invoice payment method appears at checkout. Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually and assigned a priority to determine which rule should apply first when multiple conditions are met.
This allows store owners to tailor invoice payments for different business scenarios without modifying code.
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006387975" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/invoice-payment-rule.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="350" />
<h4 data-section-id="b6g0uj">Customer & Location Targeting</h4>
Control invoice payment availability based on user roles, specific customers, or guest users. You can also restrict access by country, state, city, or ZIP code, allowing invoice payments only in approved regions or for selected customer groups.
This makes it easy to offer invoice payments to trusted B2B customers or specific markets while keeping the option hidden from others.
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006388622" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/invoice-payment-location-rule.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="573" />
<h4>Order & Checkout Conditions</h4>
Define conditions based on cart total, quantity limits, shipping methods, products, categories, tags, or brands to determine when invoice payments should be available.
Rules can also override the global checkout field settings, allowing you to require PO numbers, enable customer messages, or apply different field behavior depending on the rule.

<h3>Front-end View</h3>
The invoice payment method appears along with other payment methods on the front-end.
