## How to Set Descriptors

There are 3 ways to set descriptors:

***

### By Gateway

Enter the **Descriptor** on the [Gateway setup](https://help.checkoutchamp.com/crm/adding-a-gateway#descriptor).

**This is required.**

Obtain this from your merchant provider.

**CRM > Gateways > Gateway List > edit**

### By Campaign Product

Enter a **Dynamic Descriptor** on each [campaign product](https://help.checkoutchamp.com/crm/crm-setup/campaign-setup/adding-a-product-to-a-campaign/common-offer-setups).

This is optional.

{% hint style="warning" %}
A campaign product descriptor will override the gateway descriptor.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If there are multiple products on the order, then the transaction descriptor will be set from the first product with a descriptor.
{% endhint %}

A custom descriptor will override both gateway and product descriptor.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The custom descriptor is not saved on the order.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The custom descriptor is not used on rebills.
{% endhint %}
