Here was another tough item to track down in Magento. When you go to “One Page Checkout” in Magento, it really takes 6 steps to checkout, kind of a pain. We’re looking for a free solution to make it a true one page checkout process. In the meantime, we figured if we made the steps more clear, it might make checking out easier and therefore convert to more sales.
One of the ways to make checkout more clear in Magento is to use different wording on the checkout page. For instance, “Billing Information” may not be clear to people that they need to add the actual credit card bill mailing address. So to make it clear, we added to that line, so now it reads “Billing Information (If using credit card, make sure you use the billing address for that card)”. Problem is, where the heck is that line?
We wasted about an hour looking for it and finally found it in app/locale/en_US of all places. Find the line that reads “Billing Information”,”Billing Information” and change it to read “Billing Information”,”Billing Information ( If using credit card to pay, make sure you use the billing address for that card on this page)”
Typical Magento to make things hard to find, but there you go. That’s how to change headings on checkout page in Magento.
