Changing Billing & Payment description wording on Checkout page

    I tried Loco Translate, but it’s over my head and I have errors in the settings stating WooCommerce is missing a file for bundling. So, I’m hoping someone can lead me to an alternative. Here’s what I want to do on the Checkout page:

    First, one must understand that this is Cash on Delivery only, Local pick up only for our Curbside Pickup program. Therefore I would like to be able to change the following:

    Billing Details > Local Pickup Verification

    Before a customer enters in their information, there is a message on the right in a blue box which will be very confusing for our customers. I would like to change the message from:

    “Sorry it seems there are no available payment methods for your site. Please contact us if you require assistance or wish to make alternative arrangements”

    I wish there was a way to change that message in the COD settings but alas that is not to be. My hope is to be able to change the message to something like:

    “Thank you for using our Curbside Shopping portal. Please note that our system is Cash/Credit or Debit on curbside pick-up. Please our Curbside Shopping policy for more information.”

    And while I need shipping on in the settings area to have local pick up only as an option, is there anyway to get rid of the “ship to a different address”. We are not shipping anywhere.

    Any ideas? I have a feeling there is a hook or filter, just need to be led in the right direction.

    Thank you in advance for your time.

    Hi @rebelprincess!

    You’ll find some instructions on how to override the core fields here:

    https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/#section-2

    It includes the hooks etc.

    I am also curious about the exact error you are getting with Loco translate. Would you mind sharing some more information about this error?

    Loco translate is usually a good option and would work, so with that said, here’s a video about it that outlines how it is used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUPhsoUm-QE just in case you may have missed a step.

    Cheers!

    Good Morning Rynald0s,

    thank you for your reply. I will take a look at the documentation. Below is the error I received when I clicked on WooCommerce in Loco Translate. Being an intermediate novice, anything that would help me get rid of the message would be glorious:

    “Sorry it seems there are no available payment methods for your site. Please contact us if you require assistance or wish to make alternative arrangements” would be grand. Just figured out how to change the Billing Detail headings.

    Well, I’m completely stumped reading about the hooks etc…to figure out what field I’m trying change so I can replace the verbiage that automatically populates the blue box on the check out page with the following content.

    “Sorry it seems there are no available payment methods for your site. Please contact us if you require assistance or wish to make alternative arrangements”

    Went to codeable to find a woocommerce expert for this issue no one has responded.

    I have figured out some of the other stuff, but this one particular issue has completely stumped me. I noticed that Loco Translation is now sort of working, but I have no idea where to drill down in the site to find how to replace that one darn thing. Any guidance that directs me to where in files this needs to be updated would be fantastic. It’s the only thing that is preventing me from going live. That automatic statement on the checkout page is just not customer friendly. GAHHHHHHHHH!

    Hi @rebelprincess!

    It sounds like you might be having some trouble finding the correct string to translate.

    At this time I would recommend using the gettext filter to change that exact notice. You can see how to do it here:

    And this is how you can add code to your site:

    Alright. I finally figured the darn blue box thing. With the exception of going into form-billing.php to change the name from Billing & Shipping to Local Pick Up Verification, all I needed to do was go into settings>shipping>shipping options and check ” Force shipping to the customer billing address”. Viola! My blue box payment verbiage issues were solved.

    I really had no idea it was that simple. So if anyone ever starts a local pick up only curbside pick up with cash on delivery (after fighting with PayPal it is true that PayPal does not give any seller protection to those who do local pick up only) Simply remember to check the box in shipping options “Force shipping to the customer billing address”.

    Thank you Rynaldo, you were helpful.
