However, WooCommerce does not provide a simple way to change the payment method for multiple orders at once, and even editing individual orders can become time-consuming as your store grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you want to switch payment methods after checkout, migrate orders to a new payment gateway, or fix incorrect payment data, there are several reliable ways to do it. You can manually edit the payment method from the default WooCommerce order editor, use custom code for automated changes, or use OBULKiT plugin to update hundreds or thousands of orders in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, you will learn how to change the WooCommerce order payment method step-by-step using the default editor, coding solutions, and the most efficient method using a bulk edit plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the order payment method in WooCommerce?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce order payment method is the way you want to charge your customers which can be classified into two categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Offline payment methods in WooCommerce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, WooCommerce has three offline payment options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Direct Bank Transfer (BACS)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct bank transfer, also called Bank Account Clearing System (BACS), is a default WooCommerce payment method which means the buyer transfers the payment directly to your bank account. As a result, you deliver the product after receiving the payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check Payments&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this method, the customer makes the payment through a check. On the Checkout page, the buyer can choose the check payment method and complete the order. Then on the Greetings page, it will receive details on where to send the check for payment. It is up to the buyer how they send you the check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cash On Delivery (COD)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cash on delivery (COD) is one of the most common WooCommerce payment methods for purchasing physical goods. The way it works is that a customer undertakes to pay the order amount in cash after receiving the product from the supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Online payment methods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to offline payment methods, you can also enable online payment options in WooCommerce that allow buyers to pay using a credit card or online gateways like PayPal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to add a payment method in WooCommerce?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To set up WooCommerce offline payment methods, you can go to the following address:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WooCommerce &gt; Settings &gt; Payments&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the toggle under the <strong>Enable<\/strong> column to activate your desired payment methods. Then easily configure them by clicking the &#8220;<strong>Finish Setup<\/strong>&#8221; button next to each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/add-payment-method.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1895\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/add-payment-method.png\" alt=\"Add payment method in WooCommerce\" class=\"wp-image-28898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/add-payment-method.png 1895w, https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/add-payment-method-500x148.png 500w, https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/add-payment-method-1536x455.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1895px) 100vw, 1895px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Manage payment methods in WooCommerce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike activating offline payment methods that do not require installing additional plugins, to set up an online payment method, you need to use WooCommerce plugins.

As we mentioned before, you just have options to filter orders by date, customer, and status. For example, there is no option for WooCommerce filter orders by payment method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only solution to face these problems is using the WooCommerce orders bulk edit plugin.

using custom PHP code snippets. This is useful for bulk updates, payment gateway migrations, or correcting order records. Below is a step-by-step guide to safely modify payment methods in WooCommerce using hooks and direct database updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Using WooCommerce hooks (recommended)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The safest way to&nbsp;change the WooCommerce order payment method&nbsp;is by using WordPress actions and filters. This ensures compatibility with other plugins and avoids direct database manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Add a custom function to update the payment method<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the&nbsp;<strong>woocommerce_order_before_save<\/strong>&nbsp;hook to modify payment details before an order is saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>add_action('woocommerce_before_order_object_save', 'change_wc_order_payment_method', 10, 2);\nfunction change_wc_order_payment_method($order, $data_store) {\n&nbsp; &nbsp; \/\/ Only update if the order meets certain conditions (optional)\n&nbsp; &nbsp; if ($order-&gt;get_payment_method() === 'old_payment_method') {\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; $order-&gt;set_payment_method('new_payment_method');\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; $order-&gt;set_payment_method_title('New Payment Gateway Name');\n&nbsp; &nbsp; }\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Apply changes to specific orders (bulk update)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to update multiple orders, you can loop through them using&nbsp;WP_Query&nbsp;and apply the changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>$args = array(\n&nbsp; &nbsp; 'post_type'&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; =&gt; 'shop_order',\n&nbsp; &nbsp; 'posts_per_page' =&gt; -1,\n&nbsp; &nbsp; 'post_status'&nbsp; &nbsp; =&gt; 'any',\n&nbsp; &nbsp; 'meta_query' &nbsp; &nbsp; =&gt; array(\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; array(\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 'key' &nbsp; =&gt; '_payment_method',\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 'value' =&gt; 'old_payment_method',\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ),\n&nbsp; &nbsp; ),\n);\n\n$orders = get_posts($args);\n\nforeach ($orders as $order_post) {\n&nbsp; &nbsp; $order = wc_get_order($order_post-&gt;ID);\n&nbsp; &nbsp; $order-&gt;set_payment_method('new_payment_method');\n&nbsp; &nbsp; $order-&gt;set_payment_method_title('New Payment Gateway Name');\n&nbsp; &nbsp; $order-&gt;save();\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2: Direct database update payment method (advanced users)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce change payment method after order&nbsp;directly in the database (for large-scale updates) is possible by running the below SQL query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>UPDATE wp_postmeta\nSET meta_value = 'new_payment_method'\nWHERE meta_key = '_payment_method'\nAND meta_value = 'old_payment_method';\nTo update the payment method title (display name):\n\nUPDATE wp_postmeta\nSET meta_value = 'New Payment Gateway Name'\nWHERE meta_key = '_payment_method_title'\nAND post_id IN (\n&nbsp; &nbsp; SELECT post_id FROM wp_postmeta\n&nbsp; &nbsp; WHERE meta_key = '_payment_method'\n&nbsp; &nbsp; AND meta_value = 'old_payment_method');<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Practices for WooCommerce change payment method after order by coding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Backup Your Database:<\/strong> Always create a backup before running direct SQL queries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Test in a <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/support\/how-to-create-a-staging-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Staging Environment<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> Avoid running untested code on a live site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use WooCommerce Hooks When Possible:<\/strong> Prevents conflicts with other plugins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Log Changes:<\/strong> Keep track of modified orders for auditing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clear Caches:<\/strong>&nbsp;If using caching plugins, purge them after updates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ultimate goal of all online businesses is to satisfy customers and improve user experience to make the purchasing process more enjoyable for customers. Offering different payment methods is one of the best strategies to enhance the customer experience, but it can also make the management process more complicated for store managers. To facilitate this task, you need to use a powerful tool like the WooCommerce bulk edit orders plugin. This is the best solution providing you with all the things you need to have full control over all orders in your e-commerce website by bulk editing any WooCommerce order field with one click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column blog-faq-section is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you change the payment method after an order is placed in WooCommerce?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, WooCommerce allows you to change the payment method after an order is placed. You can open the order from WooCommerce &gt; Orders, click Edit, and select a new payment method from the Payment Method dropdown. However, this method only works for individual orders and cannot be used for bulk updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I bulk change payment method in WooCommerce?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, WooCommerce does not support bulk changing payment methods. To update multiple orders at once, you need to use OBULKiT plugin or custom code. Bulk edit plugins allow you to filter orders and change their payment method in seconds without editing each order manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why would I need to change the WooCommerce payment method?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several common reasons, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customer requests a different payment method<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Migration to a new payment gateway<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixing incorrect payment method data<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changing offline payments to online payments<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Updating failed or pending orders<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps maintain accurate order records and improves store management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does changing the payment method affect the order status?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No, changing the payment method does not automatically change the order status. However, you may need to manually update the order status depending on your workflow, especially when switching between online and offline payment methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I change payment method using code in WooCommerce?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, developers can use WooCommerce hooks like woocommerce_before_order_object_save or update the _payment_method meta field in the database. However, this method requires technical knowledge and should always be tested on a staging site first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the fastest way to change payment methods for multiple orders?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The fastest and safest method is using the OBULKiT plugin.
