How Do I Remove Payment Details From WooCommerce Checkout?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 12:01 am

When you’re setting up a WooCommerce store, you’ll need to add your payment details so that you can start processing orders. However, there may come a time when you need to remove your payment details from the checkout page.

There are a few different ways to do this, and we’ll go over them all in this article.

The first way to remove your payment details from the checkout page is to simply delete them from the field. This can be done by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Checkout and then scrolling down to the bottom of the page.

Here, you will see the fields for adding your payment details. Simply delete the information from these fields and save your changes.

PRO TIP: If you are using the WooCommerce plugin for WordPress, it is important to be aware that there is a potential security vulnerability when removing payment details from the checkout page. By default, when you remove a payment method from the checkout page, the corresponding details (such as the credit card number) are also deleted from the database. However, if you have not properly configured the WooCommerce settings, these details may still be stored in the WordPress database. This could allow an attacker to access your payment details and use them to make unauthorized charges.

To avoid this issue, make sure that you have correctly configured the WooCommerce settings to remove payment details from the database when they are removed from the checkout page. You can find more information about how to do this in the WooCommerce documentation.

Another way to remove your payment details from the checkout page is to use a plugin like WooCommerce Remove Payment Fields. This plugin will allow you to remove the fields for adding payment details entirely, so that they are not even an option for customers during checkout.

If you’re using a third-party plugin for payments, like Stripe or PayPal, then you can also remove your payment details from the checkout page by disconnecting your account from WooCommerce. To do this, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Checkout and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Here, you will see the options for connecting your account. Simply click on the Disconnect button next to the service you’re using.

Conclusion:

There are a few different ways that you can remove your payment details from the WooCommerce checkout page. You can either delete them from the field, use a plugin like WooCommerce Remove Payment Fields, or disconnect your account from WooCommerce if you’re using a third-party plugin.
