How do I edit the “order confirmed” message?

    Hi,

    I was looking for a way to edit the “order confirmed” message on the last page after a successful transaction has been done. This is the “thank you for your order” or “your order confirmed” heading on the page that summarises your order (I believe the message depends on/can be changed by your theme?)

    I have looked around for some solutions and many of them involve adding PHP snippets to the theme’s functions, which I want to avoid doing at this time. Is there an easier or better way to do this?

    Thank you!

    Hi @sidewindern7,

    The inbuilt option to modify the processing order email is from WooCommerce → Settings → Emails > Processing Order. You will find the options to change several parts of that email.

    I hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    Hi @abwaita

    Thanks for responding. Unfortunately that’s not what I’m looking for; you mentioned editing the emails – I am interested in editing the page that shows up at the very end of the checkout flow, not an email.

    For example, the customer would add a product to the cart -> pay with card -> reach the thank you page with a summary of what they ordered. It’s the main heading on this thank you page that I would like to edit (“Your Order Confirmed”).

    Here is a screenshot of what I would like to change – I hope it makes more sense now.

    Thanks for the clarification @sidewindern7.

    Alright, since you mentioned that you’d like to avoid touching the code, I would suggest editing the page using plugins like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/woo-thank-you-page-nextmove-lite/

    Let us know if that is helpful.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for the link @abwaita! I had a look and it seems good. However just so I have the option: how would I edit that message with PHP? Since I am only looking for one text change to the page, it might be a little overkill to use the plugin because that’s a full thank you page builder/overhaul.

    I don’t mind editing the theme’s functions, it’s just that the reason I was initially hesitant in doing so was because I wanted to avoid unintended side effects on what the theme has set up. Stability is of utmost importance to me.

    Thank you for your help and support so far!

    Hi @sidewindern7

    how would I edit that message with PHP?

    If you prefer to edit with PHP, you can apply a snippet like this to change the order confirmation page title.

    You can use the Code Snippets plugin to add PHP snippets to your site instead of adding custom code directly to your child theme’s functions.php file. Using the Code Snippet plugin makes it easier for you to keep track, and if you decide not to use any custom snippets, you can simply turn off the particular snippet via the plugin.

    Alternatively, you can change text by using a free translation plugin like Loco Translate. This will allow you to find that phrase and change it to be what you’d like.
