My browser tab name often changes when I reach the checkout and it looks very concerning and untrustworthy.
Is there a way to change the name of the checkout page?

Thank you.

Everytime I select a product and go to checkout, the tab name is different!!!

It’s really weird.

Hi @antonioujake

I guess the language of your browser causes it. Its ok on my side

Thank you for clarifying that is was a language setting. I was still getting different languages each time i checked out on different browsers. However …

I managed to fix it in shopify settings > Checkout > Manage Checkout Language.

I then changed the Page Title and it worked perfectly!
