How to Remove Payment Method from WooCommerce Order Confirmation Emails

When running an online store using WooCommerce, you may want to customize the order confirmation emails sent to your customers. One common modification is removing the payment method information from these emails. If you've found the same issue and are having trouble doing so, you're in the right place! Let's explore how to effectively remove the payment method title from the WooCommerce order confirmation emails.

Understanding the Problem

In many cases, merchants may find that the payment method details are not necessary for certain communications, such as order confirmation emails. While you may have already attempted some modifications by changing various email template files, the title often seems to persist.

The primary files that usually require editing for this purpose include:

email-order-details.php

email-order-items.php

customer-on-hold-order.php (often the default confirmation template)

The goal is to remove the Payment Method title and any associated details from your emails while still ensuring that other important information remains intact.

Solution Overview

There are a couple of effective methods to achieve this. You can either use a hook in your theme's functions.php file or override the WooCommerce template files. Let’s break down both methods.

Method 1: Using WooCommerce Hooks

The quickest way to remove the payment method row from email notifications is to add a filter. Here’s how you can do it:

Open the functions.php File:
Access the functions.php file of your active theme (preferably a child theme to prevent issues during updates).

Add the Following Code:

This code works by unsetting the payment_method from the totals array when an email notification is being sent. It’s a great way to ensure your emails remain clean and focused on the essential information.

Method 2: Overriding Template Files

If you prefer or need to edit template files directly, you can override the email-order-details.php file. Here’s how:

Locate Your Template File:
Find the email-order-details.php file in the WooCommerce plugin directory or directly within your theme if you’ve already overridden it.

Modify the Template:
Replace the footer section (where totals are generated) with the following code:

In this scenario, the template checks each total and skips the payment method row, effectively removing it from the email template.

Conclusion

Removing the payment method from WooCommerce order confirmation emails can be easily achieved using either a filter in functions.php or by directly modifying the relevant template file. With either approach, your emails can be customized to better fit your business communication needs and improve customer experience.

By following the steps outlined in this post, you should now be able to successfully remove the payment information from your WooCommerce emails. Happy customizing!
