Rename a Payment Method

Rename a payment method to make it clearer for your customers at checkout.

1. Create the customization

Set the customization to Active.

Enter a name for your customization, for example:

Rename Credit Card

Choose Always to apply the new name to every checkout, or select When set conditions are met to apply it only in specific situations.

2. Add the rename action

Select Rename payment method.

Use the following settings:

• Match: Contains
• Payment method: Credit card
• New name: Pay with card

💡 Best practice

Use Contains and enter the shortest unique part of the payment method name.

Avoid terms that are too broad. For example, Credit could also match Store Credit.

⚠️ Important

• Credit Card customization requires Shopify Plus for stores in the United States and Canada. Stores in other countries can customize it on any Shopify plan.
• Payment methods displayed with provider logos, such as PayPal or Klarna, generally cannot be renamed.
• Customizations do not affect express checkout buttons inside carts.
