-**Wire Transfer** is the default payment method available.
-The aim is providing your customers with your bank details
-so they can pay on their own.
-This is very easy to start with but slow and inefficient process-wise.
-Opt for payment acquirers as soon as you can!
+The **Wire transfer** payment method allows you to provide payment instructions to your customers,
+such as the bank details and communication. They are displayed:

+   - While this method is very accessible and requires minimal setup, it is very inefficient

+.. tip::
+   **Wire transfer** can be used as a template for other payment methods that are processed

+Configuration
+=============
 
-How to manage an order once you get paid
-========================================
+**Wire Transfer** is installed and enabled by default.
 
-Whenever a customer pays by wire transfer, the order stays in an
-intermediary stage **Quotation Sent** (i.e. unpaid order).
-When you get paid,
-you confirm the order manually to launch the delivery.
+To configure it, go to :menuselection:`Accounting / Website --> Configuration -->
+Payment Acquirers`, and open the :guilabel:`Wire Transfer` card. Then, select the
+:guilabel:`Communication` to be used in the :guilabel:`Configuration` tab:
 
-How to create other manual payment methods
-==========================================
+  - :guilabel:`Based on Document Reference`: sales order or invoice number
+  - :guilabel:`Based on Customer ID`: customer identifier
 
-If you manage a B2B business, you can create other manually-processed
-payment methods like paying by check.
-To do so, just rename *Wire Transfer* or duplicate it.
