For the majority of our Stripe Payments Plugin users, the generic text and messages displayed by the plugins should be sufficient. Some of the site administrators may want to customize certain payment pop-up-related messages. They are able to achieve this using the free Custom Messages Addon.
Customizing the Text in the Stripe Payments Plugin
For a small percentage of Stripe Payment Plugin users, their specific website may require that certain messages are altered entirely. For this kind of specific customization of text/messages displayed by the Stripe Payments Plugin, you may need to alter the language file.
This process is similar to translating a plugin. While language files are primarily used for translations, they also allow you to adjust specific phrases to better suit your needs.
By creating a customized language file, you can control the exact text that appears in the plugin’s messages.
Example: Modifying a Specific Phrase in the Plugin
For example, if your site uses English (UK) and you want to change the text ‘Zipcode’ to ‘Postcode,’ you can create an English (UK) translation file. Use the plugin translation process to generate a stripe-payments-en_UK.po file, then replace ‘Zipcode’ with ‘Postcode’ within it. Afterward, generate the corresponding stripe-payments-en_UK.mo file and upload both files to the plugin’s language directory (stripe-payments/languages).
