WooCommerce: Add Payment Method to Order Emails

If you wish to print the payment gateway name on order emails (in its own paragraph below the order items table), here’s a handy snippet for you.

All you need to use is the “woocommerce_email_after_order_table” hook to pick the correct position, and then the “get_payment_method_title” WooCommerce function to return the payment gateway name. Enjoy!

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101

    I would like it to show the last4 of the card number and brand “visa” etc not just payment ‘type’
    Is there anyway you could show me a snippet for that?

      Hey Leah, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is definitely possible, but I’m afraid it’s custom work. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. Thanks a lot for your understanding!

    I believe this should be simple enough but I haven’t a clue. All I want to do is place the total dollar amount of an order into the “Additonal Content” field that is available in the standard woo emails….

    Reference: {order_number} this works fine and the email has the number xxxxx or whatever
    Amount: {order_total} this never works and the email has {order_total} instead of $50.00 or whatever

    Please help!

      Maybe a bug? Disable all plugins except Woo and try again

    Hallo
    I tried your “Add Payment Method to Order Emails” snippet. It shows the text “Payment Type” but not paypal or Credit card…,
    Any idea what it can be.
    Thanks a lot.

      Hello Sascha, thanks for your comment! I just tested this again with Storefront theme and it works perfectly. Maybe your theme (or another plugin) is messing/conflicting with my snippet.

      To troubleshoot, disable all plugins but WooCommerce and also switch temporarily to “Twentytwenty” theme (load the snippet there in functions.php) as explained here: https://www.businessbloomer.com/lesson/trwm4l01/

      Once you do that, does it work? If yes, you have a problem with your current theme or one of the plugins.

      Hope this helps!

    I’m using this code snippet but getting “payment_method_title was called incorrectly. Order properties should not be accessed directly.” errors in the php log. This seems to be related to recent changes in WooCommerce. Is there now a new way to call payment_method_title?

    I should add the code still works, just generates a warning.

    Hi Rodolfo, we would be happy to pay for your email function that would include the STRIPE “brand” and “last4” of the credit card used.
