Rename COD

In short

Create a Rename rule for Payment, add a renaming pair with Cash on Delivery (COD) as the original method and your new label as the new name, then activate and save.

Applies to

  • All Shopify plans
  • Any manual payment method

Doesn't apply to

  • Wallets and methods shown as logos
  • Order emails and the Shopify admin — they keep the original name

This example changes Cash on Delivery (COD) to Pay at Delivery for every checkout.

Shortcut: start from a template

The Rename Cash on Delivery template has the pair ready. Change the new name to your own wording.

Test it

Open checkout. The payment list should show Pay at Delivery where it used to say Cash on Delivery (COD).

Keep the name short

Long names wrap awkwardly on mobile checkout. A few words is enough.

If it does not work

The original method name must match checkout exactly — COD alone will not match Cash on Delivery (COD). See method name is not matching.

Frequently asked

Will the new name show in order emails?

No. The new label is a checkout display name only. Your admin, order exports and notification emails keep the original.

Can I use a different name per country?

Yes. Build one rename rule per country group and add a Shipping country condition to each.
