How to Display Payment Methods Separately at WooCommerce Checkout

Last modified: August 25, 2026

By default, all your Direct Payments for WooCommerce methods are grouped under a single Direct Payments option at checkout, and customers choose their method in the popup. You can change this so each payment method (for example, Zelle, MTN Mobile Money, or a specific bank account) appears as its own separate option on the checkout page.

💡 Note: This feature requires Direct Payments for WooCommerce v2.6 or later. Update the plugin if you’re on an earlier version.

Step 1: Open the Payment Method You Want to Display Separately

  • Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
  • Go to WooCommerce > Direct Payments > Settings.
  • Open the Payment Methods tab.
  • Find the payment method you want to display separately at checkout, then click the 3-dot icon next to it to edit it.

Step 2: Enable Separate Payment Method

  • Click the Options tab.
  • Under Checkout options, click “Show as a separate payment method”.
  • Enter a Payment Method Title (the title customers will see at checkout, e.g., “Pay with Zelle”).
  • Enter a Checkout Description (a short line explaining the option to customers).
  • Click Save.

Repeat this step for any other payment method you want listed individually at checkout.

Step 3: Save Your Changes

Clicking Save returns you to the Payment Methods list; then you click Save changes to confirm the update.
