In Magento 2, tooltips can be added to various elements on the frontend to provide additional information or explanations to users when they hover over those elements. To add a tooltip in Magento 2, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the element: Determine the HTML element to which you want to attach the tooltip. It can be an icon, a link, a button, or any other interactive element.
2. Add a tooltip attribute: Add a data attribute named `data-tooltip` to the identified element. For example, `<a href="#" data-tooltip="This is a tooltip">Hover me</a>`. The value of the `data-tooltip` attribute will be the content of the tooltip.
3. Initialize tooltips: Magento 2 uses the Bootstrap framework for its frontend components, including tooltips. To enable tooltips, you need to initialize them using JavaScript. You can do this in your custom JavaScript file or in a script tag within a template file.

- - If using a JavaScript file, create a file (e.g., `custom.js`) in your theme’s directory, such as `app/design/frontend/YourVendor/YourTheme/web/js/custom.js`. Inside the file, add the following code to initialize tooltips:

````

```
require(['jquery', 'bootstrap'], function($) {
$(document).ready(function() {
$('[data-tooltip]').tooltip();
});
});
```

````

- - If using a template file, open the template file (e.g., `.phtml` file) where the element is located, and add the following script tag:

````

```
<script>
require(['jquery', 'bootstrap'], function($) {
$(document).ready(function() {
$('[data-tooltip]').tooltip();
});
});
</script>
```

Add a **tooltip** for payment methods on the checkout page in Magento 2, you can follow bellow code on payment HTML file:

```
<!--
/**

 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
-->
            <input type="radio"
               name="payment[method]"
               class="radio"
               data-bind="attr: {'id': getCode()}, value: getCode(), checked: isChecked, click: selectPaymentMethod, visible: isRadioButtonVisible()"/>
        <label data-bind="attr: {'for': getCode()}" class="label"></label>
                                                                                             This is the custom text how looks like in the Payment Terms Payment Method.
                                                    <!-- ko foreach: getRegion('messages') -->
        <!-- ko template: getTemplate() --><!-- /ko -->
        <!--/ko-->
                    <!-- ko foreach: $parent.getRegion(getBillingAddressFormName()) -->
            <!-- ko template: getTemplate() --><!-- /ko -->
            <!--/ko-->
                <!-- ko if: getMailingAddress() || getPayableTo() -->
        <dl class="items check payable">
            <!-- ko if: getPayableTo() -->
            <dt class="title"><!-- ko i18n: 'Make Check payable to:' --><!-- /ko --></dt>
            <dd class="content"><!-- ko text: getPayableTo() --><!-- /ko --></dd>
            <!-- /ko -->
            <!-- ko if: getMailingAddress() -->
            <dt class="title"><!-- ko i18n: 'Send Check to:' --><!-- /ko --></dt>
            <dd class="content">
                <address class="checkmo mailing address" data-bind="html: getMailingAddress()"></address>
            </dd>
            <!-- /ko -->
        </dl>
        <!-- /ko -->
                    <!-- ko foreach: $parent.getRegion('before-place-order') -->
                <!-- ko template: getTemplate() --><!-- /ko -->
            <!--/ko-->
                                            <button class="action primary checkout"
                        type="submit"
                        data-bind="
                        click: placeOrder,
                        attr: {title: $t('Place Order')},
                        css: {disabled: !isPlaceOrderActionAllowed()},
                        enable: (getCode() == isChecked())
                        "
                        disabled>
                                    </button>

<style>
    .payment_terms_css{
        cursor: pointer;
        position: relative !important;
        right: 0;
        top: 1px;
    }
</style>
```

**Clear cache:** After making changes to your theme or adding a new JavaScript file, remember to clear the Magento cache for the changes to take effect. You can do this by running the following command in the Magento root directory:

**php bin/magento s:up**
**php bin/magento s:d:c**
**php bin/magento s:s:d -f**
**php bin/magento c:c**
**Result:-**
