Rename operation

A Payment Method Rename operation changes only the name shown for a matching payment method in your checkout.

When to use it

Use a rename operation when you want to:

• use a clearer name for a payment method, such as Charge on Delivery instead of Cash on Delivery (COD)
• show payment methods in the customer’s language

The form

The operation form includes:

• Operation Name: identifies the operation in the app; customers do not see it.
• Enabled Status: controls whether the operation will execute. A disabled operation is saved but does will run.
• Payment Method Renames: this section controls payment methods to be renamed, and what values they’ll be renamed to.
• Conditions: control when the operation applies.

Renaming a payment method

Enter the payment method name you wish to rename into the Payment Method Name input and click the Add Payment Method Rename button. The payment method name will only match if it’s spelled exactly, including capitalization and spaces.

Adding a payment method here provides a Rename Value input to define it’s new name. If your plan supports it, you can enter renames or multiple languages.

Add translations

Click “Add Translation” to add multiple translations for the current payment method, entering the language specific rename value for supported locale. Checkout Commander does not translate automatically - you must enter the desired translations yourself.

Pro plan required for multiple translations

Multiple locale translations require Pro. Basic and Advanced can only provide renames for the shop’s Primary Locale. See Plans for details.

Don't see the desired locale?

Manage the locale list in Settings. Primary Locale is the shop’s default locale. Available Locales is the list of locales that can be selected in the operation.

Checkout first uses a translation matching the full customer locale, such as fr-CA, and then checks for a language-only translation, such as fr. If neither matches, the original payment method name remains unchanged; checkout does not fall back to the value entered for Primary Locale. See Locale priority for the selection order.

Example

Rename “Cash on Delivery (COD)” to “Charge on Delivery”. Enter Cash on Delivery (COD) as the Payment Method Name, and Charge on Delivery as the Renamed Value for the shop’s default locale. Customers see Charge on Delivery instead of Cash on Delivery (COD) at checkout.

• Payment Method Name: Cash on Delivery (COD)
• Locale: Your shop’s default locale
• Renamed Value: Charge on Delivery
