WooCommerce: Rename “Place Order” Based on Chosen Payment Gateway

We’ve already seen how to rename the “Place Order” button on the WooCommerce Checkout page, but today I want to find a way to rename it dynamically and conditionally i.e. based on the payment gateway that is selected while checking out.

The snippet requires the payment gateway “ID” – here’s a quick tut in case you don’t know how to retrieve that: How to Find WooCommerce Payment Gateway ID

Other than that, it’s pretty simple logic. Enjoy!

With the snippet below, once “Bank Transfer” (bacs) is selected, the “Place Order” button becomes “View Bank Details”. If I had a second payment gateway, such as COD, I could have also modified the label, and this would have changed instantly upon COD select.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_available_payment_gateways', 'bbloomer_rename_place_order_button' );

function bbloomer_rename_place_order_button( $gateways ) {
    if ( $gateways['bacs'] ) {
        $gateways['bacs']->order_button_text = 'View Bank Details';
    } elseif ( $gateways['cod'] ) {
        $gateways['cod']->order_button_text = 'Confirm Cash on Delivery';
    } 
    return $gateways;
}

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
