Localization

How language tabs and per-language content work in checkout settings.

Several checkout settings support per-language content — for example, product names, policy links, success page URLs, and billing form descriptions. This page explains how the language tab system works.

Configuring supported languages

Each checkout has its own set of supported languages, managed in Checkout Settings → Languages. The first language in the list is the default language.

When you create a checkout, you choose a primary language. You can add more languages later from the Languages settings page.

Language tabs

Settings that support localization show one tab per supported language. Each tab contains the fields for that language. If the checkout has only one language, no tabs are shown — you see the fields directly.

Fallback behavior

If you leave a field empty on a non-default language tab, the checkout automatically shows the default language's value for that field. This means you don't need to fill in every field for every language — only the ones that genuinely differ.

For example, if your default language is Finnish and you add English as a second language, you only need to fill in the English product name — if you leave the English description empty, the Finnish description is shown to English-speaking customers.

Start with the default language. Only fill in fields on other language tabs when the content genuinely differs — for example, policy documents hosted at language-specific URLs or translated product descriptions.

Where localization is supported

Language tabs appear in the following settings:

  • Product names and descriptions — in product, offer, and add-on sale forms
  • Policy links and terms acceptance text — in checkout policy settings
  • Success page URLs — in checkout and offer success page settings
  • Billing form field descriptions — in billing form settings
  • Add-on sale content — blocks and product info in add-on sale forms
