[HC] Stripe is showing unwanted messages on the payment options on version 8.5 about woocommerce-gateway-stripe

The dev team is aware of this issue and we're discussing the best way to handle it.

I can also confirm the new text, however, this is not a bug, it's a feature.

Reviewing the latest changelogs for Stripe you can find this:

• Add - Allow customizing the title and description of the UPE payment methods.

Which is awesome! You can customize each by going to your WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe > Payment Methods > Customize (next to each payment method). You can add a Name and a Description for each.

Edit: Here’s the relevant documentation for it: https://woocommerce.com/document/stripe/setup-and-configuration/additional-payment-methods/#customizing

Edit 2: it may actually be a bug, though, since maybe the empty settings shouldn't include a default string; I've seen another report already here. From this comment in the PR, it seems the empty should work, and from what we're seeing in actual usage, it isn't working!). (edited)

It’s definitely a “new feature” however bugged the fact it’s pulling through the backend admin descriptions, which should definitely not be displayed to a customer. On the legacy version this wasn’t the case.

At the moment the only way is a dirty CSS method to hide, which isn’t ideal and shouldn’t be considered as a “fix”
