{{var payment_html}} is empty

Question

In sales transactional e-mails I cannot find out how to make magento print payment method. I have two options (cash on delivery or credit card on delivery) for customers. It's empty every time.

In back-end at the View order page I can't see it neither because there is only written Order was placed using.

How can I fix it, please?

Answer 1

I haven't found why var payment_html is totally empty but yet I found solution.

In transactional emails template use instead of {{var payment_html}} this

{{var order.getPayment().getMethodInstance().getTitle()}}

Now I see at least in those emails which method customers chose.
