How can i rename the payment checkout

Hi, I’m looking for a way to change the payment method name “HitPay” to “Pay with HitPay (BNPL)” so customers can clearly identify that this option is for BNPL.

I’ve tried checking under Checkout Settings → Languages, but I couldn’t find the payment option “HitPay” listed there to edit the name.

Has anyone managed to rename this payment method before or knows where this setting might be located? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @user2588

You generally cannot rename the “HitPay” payment method directly in Shopify checkout because the label is controlled by the payment gateway, not by Shopify’s language settings.

Use a checkout customization app (recommended)

Example: Checkout Blocks → create a rule:

HitPay → Pay with HitPay (BNPL)

If you are on Shopify Plus, you can rename it using Checkout UI extensions.

You can also contact HitPay support to see if they allow changing the gateway display name from their side.

Hi @user2588 !

Unless you are on a Shopify Plus plan (which allows access to Checkout Extensibility), you cannot edit the code of the checkout page directly. However, you can rename almost any text or button on the checkout page using the built-in Theme Language Editor.

Here is the step-by-step guide to renaming payment options or checkout buttons:

  1. From your Shopify Admin, go to Online Store > Themes.

  2. Find your current active theme, click the three dots (…) button, and select Edit default theme content (sometimes called “Edit Languages”).

  3. In the search bar at the top, type the exact text you want to change (for example, if you want to rename “Pay now”, type “Pay now”).

  4. Scroll down through the results until you find the field that corresponds to the Checkout (it will usually be under a tab like Checkout payment or Checkout system).

  5. Replace the default text in that box with your new desired text.

  6. Click Save in the top right corner.

Note on Payment Gateway Names:
If you are trying to rename the actual title of a third-party payment gateway (like changing “Stripe” to “Credit Card”), you cannot do this in the language editor. Gateway names are hardcoded by the payment provider. The only exception is Manual Payment Methods (like Bank Deposit or Cash on Delivery), which you can rename directly under Settings > Payments > Manual payment methods.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you run into any issues finding the right text field.

Hi @user2588

The names of the payment methods from external gateways, such as HitPay, are generally provided by the provider itself and cannot be renamed in Shopify’s language settings. A business-friendly workaround is to add a small text near the payment icons or in the checkout information block saying that HitPay has a BNPL service, so the customers will know about that option.
