Name of payment method no longer being provided

Hi @marisa2023,

I understand how confusing it can be when your site behaves this way. Could you share a link to your site so I can take a closer look?

Hi @marisa2023

We see that you’re hesitant to share details like the URL of your site, and we respect that. However, sometimes, how your site is setup with different plugins or theme can cause inconsistencies. For example, a theme might not be fully updated to match a new plugin version. Can you confirm if your theme, plugins (especially the ones related to the checkout page), and WordPress core have been updated recently?

Also to understand better, could you share a screenshot of how it looks on PayPal and Advanced Card Processing vs. on WooPayments? Please make sure to hide or blur any sensitive details (if any). Looking forward to your response.

Hi @marisa2023,

Thank you for the screenshot. You can actually access the payment method name by using the method_title property for each gateway. Here’s an example of how you can retrieve the payment method name:

function list_payment_gateway_titles() {
    $PG = new WC_Payment_Gateways();
    $gateways = $PG->get_available_payment_gateways();

    foreach ( $gateways as $gateway_id => $gateway ) {
        // Use method_title as the title
        $title = isset( $gateway->method_title ) ? $gateway->method_title : 'Title not set';

        echo '<p><strong>Gateway ID:</strong> ' . esc_html( $gateway_id ) . '<br>';
        echo '<strong>Title:</strong> ' . esc_html( $title ) . '</p>';
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'list_payment_gateway_titles' );

*I'm echoing the information inside the footer just for testing purposes.

This code will display the method_title of each available payment method, which corresponds to names like “Cash on delivery” or “WooPayments.”

However, please note that code customization is something out of our support scope. So, I would recommend you consult a developer if you need further customization.

I hope this helps, let us know if you have more questions.

Hey @hendrikhere ,

I’m sorry to hear that the previous custom code didn’t quite do the trick for you. Let’s try another approach! @marisa2023 mentioned that using ->get_title() instead of ->method_title helped in their case, so I’ve adjusted the code for you to test:

function list_payment_gateway_titles() {
    // Get all installed payment gateways
    $gateways = WC()->payment_gateways->payment_gateways();

    foreach ( $gateways as $gateway_id => $gateway ) {
        // Use get_title() method to retrieve the title
        $title = $gateway->get_title();

        echo '<p><strong>Gateway ID:</strong> ' . esc_html( $gateway_id ) . '<br>';
        echo '<strong>Title:</strong> ' . esc_html( $title ) . '</p>';
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'list_payment_gateway_titles' );

Could you give this a try and see if it works better for you? Let me know how it goes!
