A user needed to change the checkout page payment option label from “Credit card” to “P-card” for a client who uses that terminology. Shopify support initially said this wasn’t possible, despite successfully changing “Store Credit” to “Budget Dollars” for the same store.
Solution provided:
Navigate to Online Store → Themes → three-dot menu → “Edit default theme content”
Select the “Checkout & system” tab
Scroll or search for “credit card label”
Update the text to “P-card”
The solution worked successfully. Screenshots were shared showing the exact location of the setting in the theme editor.
Additional context:
Most checkout wording can be customized through “Edit default theme content”
The system contains numerous labels and values that can be modified
Customization options may differ for Shopify Plus stores or when using specific apps
