Rename a Redirect Payment Gateway

Some payment providers appear at checkout with generic names like “Credit card and other payment methods” or “Additional payment methods.” These are typically redirect gateways that take the customer to an external payment page. You can rename them to something clearer.

The Problem

When you have both a native credit card processor (Shopify Payments) and a redirect payment gateway, customers see two similar options:

• “Credit card” (native Shopify Payments)
• “Credit card and other payment methods” (redirect gateway)

This is confusing. Renaming the redirect option clarifies what it actually offers.

The Setup

1. Click Create rule → Rename payment methods.
2. Rule name: “Rename redirect gateway”
3. Rule status: Test
4. Rename settings:
   • Trigger: Equals to
   • Payment method: “Credit card and other payment methods” (the exact original name)
   • Rename to: “Apple Pay | Google Pay and more”
5. Validation trigger: Always
6. Click Save.

Finding the Correct Original Name

The most common issue is entering the wrong original name. To find the exact name:

1. Disable all existing rename rules temporarily.
2. Go to your store checkout and look at the payment methods.
3. Copy the exact name of the redirect gateway as it appears.
4. Use that exact text in your rename rule with the Equals to trigger.

Common Rename Examples

Conditional Renaming

You can rename a payment method differently for different customers:

Different name by country:

• Rule 1: Rename to “Sofort, Giropay & mehr” → Condition: Country → Equals to → Germany
• Rule 2: Rename to “iDEAL & more” → Condition: Country → Equals to → Netherlands
• Rule 3: Rename to “Apple Pay | Google Pay and more” → Validation trigger: Always (fallback for all other countries)

Note: If multiple rename rules could match the same method, the most specific (conditional) rule takes precedence. Place conditional rules before the general fallback.

Tips

• Use “Equals to” trigger to avoid accidentally renaming the wrong method. “Contains string” with “Credit card” would match both “Credit card” and “Credit card and other payment methods.”
• Shopify Plus is required to rename the default Credit Card (Shopify Payments) method. Third-party payment methods can be renamed on any plan.
• Renaming only changes the display name. It does not affect how the payment processes.
