- Follow the instructions on the screen, and the product will be automatically added to your store.

Setup and Configuration
↑ Back to topTo configure the plugin, you need to access its settings dashboard. This central dashboard allows you to rename and edit the descriptions for all of your payment gateways.
Accessing the Settings Dashboard
↑ Back to topYou can get to the settings page in two ways:
Go to WooCommerce > Settings and click on the Rename Payment Methods tab.
Alternatively, go to your WordPress Plugins page and click the Settings link next to the plugin’s “Deactivate” button.
Renaming Your Payment Methods
↑ Back to top
Once on the settings page, you will see a list of all payment gateways available in your store.
For each gateway, you can customize the Title and Description by typing directly into their respective fields.
After making your changes, click the Save Changes button.
A confirmation notice, “Payment method changes saved,” will appear at the top of the page to confirm that your updates have been applied.
Your new, custom gateway titles and descriptions will now reflect on your store’s checkout page and everywhere else.
Troubleshooting
↑ Back to topChanges are not showing on the checkout page.
↑ Back to top- Caching: The most common cause is caching. Please clear all caches, including your browser’s cache, any caching plugins installed on your WordPress site (e.g., WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache), and any server-level or CDN caches (e.g., Cloudflare).
- Theme or Plugin Conflict: Another plugin or your active theme might be overriding the settings. To check, temporarily switch to a default theme like Storefront and deactivate other plugins one by one to see if the issue resolves.
A specific payment method is missing from the settings list.
↑ Back to top- This plugin is designed to find and list all payment gateways available in your WooCommerce installation. If a method is missing, please go to your Plugins page and ensure the corresponding gateway plugin is installed and activated correctly.
“WooCommerce not active” error message.
