If you are preparing to use the Woocommerce Subscription plugin, you will notice that there is currently no built-in way to change the default wording for the subscriptions. By default wording, I mean the text after the listed monthly amount. For example, “month for 3 months”.
So what if we want to change this wording? Luckily, we can use a custom function to change it. Here are some examples (using a 3-month subscription). Note: If you are putting this function in a theme, it should be in a child theme to prevent it from being overwritten.
This one will change it to “now + 2 more payments”.
add_action( 'init', function() {
add_filter( 'woocommerce_subscriptions_product_price_string', 'custom_subscription_price_string', 10, 3 );
});
function custom_subscription_price_string( $subscription_string, $product, $include ) {
if ( $product->is_type( 'subscription' ) ) {
$price = wc_price( $product->get_price() );
$billing_period = $product->get_meta( '_subscription_period' );
$billing_length = (int) $product->get_meta( '_subscription_period_interval' );
$subscription_length = (int) $product->get_meta( '_subscription_length' );
if ( $subscription_length > 1 ) {
$remaining_payments = $subscription_length - 1;
$subscription_string = "{$price} now + {$remaining_payments} more payment" . ( $remaining_payments > 1 ? 's' : '' );
} else {
$subscription_string = "{$price} per {$billing_period}";
}
}
return $subscription_string;
}In this one I’m flipping it around. The words will be before the price. For example “3 easy payments of”.
add_action( 'init', function() {
add_filter( 'woocommerce_subscriptions_product_price_string', 'custom_subscription_price_string', 10, 3 );
});
function custom_subscription_price_string( $subscription_string, $product, $include ) {
if ( $product->is_type( 'subscription' ) ) {
$price = wc_price( $product->get_price() );
$billing_period = $product->get_meta( '_subscription_period' );
$billing_length = (int) $product->get_meta( '_subscription_period_interval' );
$subscription_length = (int) $product->get_meta( '_subscription_length' );
if ( $subscription_length > 1 ) {
$subscription_string = "{$subscription_length} Easy Payment" . ( $subscription_length > 1 ? 's' : '' ) . " of {$price}";
} else {
$subscription_string = "{$price} per {$billing_period}";
}
}
return $subscription_string;
}The possibilities are endless here making this very flexible for whatever you need. If you have any questions, just leave a comment and I’ll try to help as best I can.
