Edit the checkout text

Change what buyers read about the deposit at checkout.

Three texts talk about the deposit at checkout and in the cart:

Text

Where buyers see it

Who controls it

Payment plan name

Under each item at checkout, for example "Deposit 50%"

Depositly

Balance note

On the product page and in the cart

Depositly

Terms paragraph

Under the payment section at checkout, saying the card will be charged later

Shopify (your theme)

Where to find it

Depositly → Purchase options → your offer → Appearance → Checkout text

Change the payment plan name and balance note

  1. Open your offer and go to Appearance.

  2. Under Checkout text, edit the Payment plan name. Use the variable buttons to add values, for example {deposit} deposit - Today.

  3. Edit the Balance note, or turn off Show the balance note to remove it.

  4. Check the Buyers will read preview.

  5. Click Save.

Leave a field empty to use the built-in wording.

Change Shopify's terms paragraph

This paragraph belongs to Shopify, so it can't be changed in Depositly or on the Translations page.

  1. In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.

  2. Click ⋯ next to your theme and choose Edit default theme content.

  3. Open Checkout and system and search for "deferred".

  4. Change the text and click Save.

You'll also find an Edit theme content link under Shopify's own terms text in your offer.

Good to know

  • Shopify's paragraph has no date variable. The due date already shows above it at checkout.

  • If you collect the balance by hand, you can reword Shopify's paragraph so it doesn't mention an automatic charge. For example: "The remaining balance is paid when you collect your order."

  • The text "Remaining balance charged when your order ships" comes from the On fulfillment balance timing. To change it, pick another timing, or change the wording on the Translations page.
