How to change the "Proceed to PayPal" button text on the check out page

[christina]

Are we able to change the button copy that says “Proceed to paypal” on the check out page?

I know you can change it here: /wp/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/gateways/paypal/class-wc-gateway-paypal.php

but can I do it without changing the core files?

Hi christina,

I took a look at that file and did not see a filter that would change that text. There is not much we can help out on as that is in WooCommerce itself.

You maybe to adapt this snippet found here:

You can change the domain to woocommerce

And then delete one switch {} and change the Case to the paypal text and then the translation to what you would like instead.

That is about all we can do on this one for WooCommerce, but that should get you close to what you would like.

Thanks

Hi thanks for the response! Is that any better than just updating the core file of woocommerce?

[Brian]

That is up to you, but I would avoid directly editing plugins as every time you update the change is overwritten.

[christina]

Thanks. Where would I add that snippet? In my functions.php?

[Brian]

Yep I would add it to your functions.php.

I think I am missing something here. Can you take a look at:

The case ”: should be the entire statement exactly it is written.

[christina]

Sorry what is ”:

[Brian]

case ‘paypal’: needs to be the full statement you are changing, not just the word.

case ”: is just the quotes without any content.
