Is it possible to customize the checkout page text

Hi there, thank you for reaching out to Paid Memberships Pro.

This text can be changed by hooking into the gettext filter and changing it from there.

Some of the text that is on the confirmation page is in the confirmation email and can be changed with one recipe and apply to both places.

If you’d like, please send me the strings you’d like changed and I can send you a sample code recipe on how to achieve this.

Hi Jarryd, thanks for the prompt reply!

There are several things I’d like to change in the checkout page:

1. In the title – instead of “Membership checkout” I’d prefer simply “Checkout
2. Instead of “Membership Level” I’d prefer simply the course name.
3. The sentence: “You have selected…” can be deleted (we offer only one course). (Additionally, the word “membership” appears twice – as in “you have selected the xyz course membership membership level”).
4. Instead of the sentence: “The price for membership is xyz now” – simply “Price: xyz”

And in the confirmation page – is it possible to simply remove the word “membership” and instead just use “account”?

The emails can basically be changed using the templates, correct? But how is the connection between the text on the frontend and the emails?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your feedback. You’ll need a couple of code recipes to adjust these strings. Here are some to help get you started.

1. The Membership Level text: https://gist.github.com/JarrydLong/eb2e0c527143c4b0502efd8e451e8c92
2. You have selected text: https://gist.github.com/JarrydLong/e27a68bbb8098db281fb0943fa74266c
3. The price of your membership: https://gist.github.com/JarrydLong/47456238735647fee4eb580da3afc977

These recipes would need to be adjusted to use the wording you prefer. They can then also be adjusted to change additional strings such as the Membership Level and Membership wording.

Thanks for the reply! I tried the recipes and the only one that worked is the one with the price. The others didn’t change anything. However I applied the price one (with the needed changes) and managed to use that one for the others as well.

And regarding the confirmation message – can I use the this recipe?

What is the connection between those strings and the email templates?

Thanks!

You can use that recipe to change the confirmation text.

For your email templates, the best would be to change the content by navigating to Memberships > Settings > Email Templates and editing the relevant templates from there.

Hi, I read somewhere that functions that hook to the gettext filter can create a performance issues. Is it true? Won’t it be better to replace the strings using JS?
