Want to change the label and placeholder text at checkout? Check this out!

At checkout, you have a section “Additional Information” and in there for order comments you have a label called: “Order Notes” and in there you have the placeholder it has the following text: “Notes about your order, e.g. special notes for delivery.”

Now if you are selling tickets, that looks dumb. So in my case i want to make the following changes:

I want “Additional Information” to say “Did you buy a ticket for a friend?”
I want “Order Notes” to say “Please enter your friends names that you purchased a ticket for”
I want “Notes about your order, e.g. special notes for delivery.” to say “Enter full name here..”

I also want “Out of stock” to say “ALL TICKETS SOLD” for when all tickets are sold.

The code:

    add_filter('gettext', 'translate_text');
    add_filter('ngettext', 'translate_text');

    function translate_text($translated) {
    $translated = str_ireplace('Out of stock', 'ALL TICKETS SOLD', $translated);
    $translated = str_ireplace('Additional Information', 'Did you buy a ticket for a friend?', $translated);
    return $translated;
    }
// Hook in
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );
 
// Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
     $fields['order']['order_comments']['label'] = 'Personalized Message';
     $fields['order']['order_comments']['placeholder'] = 'Add message here';
     return $fields;
}

Add this to your functions.php – It can be added at the bottom above the last line. Ideally you’d want to add it to your child theme functions.php

Example of where you can place it:

		$excerpt_length = fusion_get_theme_option( 'excerpt_length_blog' );

		$sermon_content .= Avada()->blog->get_content_stripped_and_excerpted( $excerpt_length, $description );
	}

	return $sermon_content;
}

    add_filter('gettext', 'translate_text');
    add_filter('ngettext', 'translate_text');

    function translate_text($translated) {
    $translated = str_ireplace('Out of stock', 'ALL TICKETS SOLD', $translated);
    $translated = str_ireplace('Additional Information', 'Did you buy a ticket for a friend?', $translated);
    return $translated;
    }
// Hook in
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );
 
// Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
     $fields['order']['order_comments']['label'] = 'Personalized Message';
     $fields['order']['order_comments']['placeholder'] = 'Add message here';
     return $fields;
}

// Omit closing PHP tag to avoid "Headers already sent" issues.

Tell me i’m a rockstar? =p

Hi Tommy,

Thanks for sharing this coding you are indeed a Rockstar!

Also, look for a more advanced version of collecting custom information in a future release of our ticketing plugins, hopefully in the next release.

I am going to share this coding with the team so we are aware of it and can suggest it to other people.

Thanks Again.
