The block checkout labels a saved PayPal account as "Saved token for ppcp-gateway" — an internal ID, shown to shoppers, in English only.

WooCommerce builds that label itself, in saved-payment-method-options.tsx:

if ( method.brand && method.last4 ) {
	return sprintf( __( '%1$s ending in %2$s' ), method.brand, method.last4 );
}
return sprintf( __( 'Saved token for %s' ), method.gateway );

Both branches assume a card. A wallet token has no last4, so it always falls through to the gateway ID.

The ID is not ours to rename. In the same component method.gateway is also the payment method slug — it drives the canMakePayment filter, the input name, and the dispatch. Replacing it with a friendly string makes the token fail that check and vanish from the checkout entirely.

Changes

• PayPal and Venmo pass the account email in the last4 slot, which is what reaches WooCommerce's readable branch. An absent email leaves last4 unset rather than rendering "PayPal ending in ".
• brand drops its / email suffix ('PayPal / x@y.com' → 'PayPal'), since the email now lives in last4.
• paypal => PayPal registered in woocommerce_credit_card_type_labels. wc_get_credit_card_type_label() lowercases the brand and ucfirsts what it does not recognise, so the account page rendered "Paypal" — it already did before this PR.

	Before	After
Block checkout	Saved token for ppcp-gateway	PayPal ending in name@example.com
My Account → Payment methods	Paypal / name@example.com	PayPal ending in name@example.com

This is a workaround, not a fix — flagged as such in the code with a TODO. Feedback is going to Woo separately: tokens need a way to supply their own label, and WC_Payment_Token::get_display_name() already returns the right string for us (PayPal / name@example.com); Blocks just never consults it.

Known limits

• "ending in" is WooCommerce's wording, not ours, so the phrasing stays card-flavoured. Getting the requested "Use existing PayPal account" would need a JS patch fighting React re-renders, which was weighed and rejected.
• Apple Pay is untouched — there is no sensible value to put in last4 for it, so it still shows the gateway ID.
• Requires a WooCommerce new enough to have the brand && last4 branch. WooCommerce 8.2.2 does not: its bundle has only the gateway-ID fallback. Worth confirming against the minimum supported version — on older installs this change is simply inert, not harmful.

Backward compatibility

No signature or hook changes. Two behavioural notes:

• $item['method']['brand'] and ['last4'] change shape for PayPal and Venmo tokens. Anything reading last4 as four digits gets an email instead — that is the trick, and it is why this is marked temporary.
• The My Account payment methods table changes wording, as shown above. The same filter feeds both screens; keeping them consistent was deliberate. Scoping it to checkout only is a one-line guard if preferred.

Test steps

Requires a saved PayPal account (vaulting on, pay once with "save" ticked) and a current WooCommerce.

1. Block checkout — the saved method reads "PayPal ending in name@example.com", not "Saved token for ppcp-gateway".
2. Select it and pay — the token is still selectable and the order completes. This is the regression that matters: it proves the gateway slug was left alone.
3. My Account → Payment methods — reads "PayPal ending in name@example.com" with a capital P.
4. Venmo — same as 1, showing "Venmo ending in ...".
5. Classic checkout — unchanged; it uses get_display_name(), not this list.
