Change the text on the PayaPal gateway "Proceed" button

I have this same issue. Did you ever get this resolved? If so, could you share with me? Thanks!

I didn’t get any help here so I changed it in the core file …

/wp/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/gateways/paypal/class-wc-gateway-paypal.php

Hi, I have the same issue. Would you mind telling me exactly what you did?

Cheers,

Jonathan

Those core-file change will be lost in the next update,
it is a temporary solution.
So try using a permanent modification.

That “__( ‘xxx’, ‘XXXX’ )” styling indicates that it is a string which is traslatable / can be localized.
So finding that string in the localization file, and change/create it as you wish will make it display as you want it to be.

Btw, as it is seen in the core-code you mentioned,
the variable controls that button-text is “order_button_text”;
so you can add some codes into the functions.php to change that variable and assign the value you want.

It should be something like this:

add_filter( 'order_button_text', 'my-new-order_button_text' );
function my-new-order_button_text() {
        return __( 'Proceed', 'woocommerce' );
}

Jonathan -the Woo core files have changed since my last post. Having said that, I am now using the Striking Multiflex theme and you can now easily change the text within the theme settings and never worry about the core.

At the same time, I wanted to change the PayPal icon. Woo used to just call a PNG file but now it is going out to the PayPal site to retrieve the icon with this line in ../wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/gateways/paypal/class-wc-gateway-paypal.php

$icon= ‘https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/mktg/logo/AM_mc_vs_dc_ae.jpg’;

I replaced the above line with:

$icon =’../wp/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/gateways/paypal/assets/images/paypal.png’;

to use my own png.

Hi I want to share my own simple way (I’m a noob, I don’t know if this is the right way, but it is worth to try)
Go to woocommerce plugin directory and copy this file plugins/woocommerce/template/checkout/review-order.php to your-theme/woocommerce/checkout/review-order.php
Find line 135 replace esc_attr( $gateway->order_button_text ); with YOUR OWN WORD.
It works for me.

Cheers,

My woocommerce version is 2.2.8

UPDATE
Replace <?php echo esc_attr( $gateway->order_button_text );?>
instead of just esc_attr( $gateway->order_button_text );

Update woocommerce 2.3.3

Replace review-order.php with payment.php
Look for ‘ . esc_attr( $order_button_text ) . ‘ and replace it with you own text.
In this case I’m using PayPal as payment method.

Thanks

I did as Desiana explained.

When I reload the checkout page I see the text I change to but after like 1 sek the text re-renders to “Proceed to Paypal” .. why?

I more thing.
At the top of the checkout page it says “checkout” as a <h1>
I have tryed to change this in the PO file to something else but it still says “checkout” .. any tips?
