Translate text on dynamic checkout buttons

Store Design

Topic summary

Merchants are seeking to translate Shopify’s dynamic checkout buttons (“Buy it now” and “More payment options”) into languages beyond the currently supported set.

Currently Supported Languages:
Portuguese (Brazil & Portugal), Spanish, Italian, French, English, Dutch, German, Danish, and Japanese.

Outstanding Translation Requests:
Numerous merchants have requested translations for: Norwegian, Finnish, Turkish, Russian, Romanian, Hungarian, Icelandic, Catalan, Arabic, Hebrew, Serbian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Slovak, and Slovene.

Shopify’s Response:
Support representatives (Jason, Julie) acknowledge the requests and forward them to the development team. However, they provide no timeline for implementation, noting that dynamic button text comes from Shopify’s core system and cannot be customized per-store. The feature is reportedly “in the planning stage.”

Merchant Frustration:
Some users express dissatisfaction with the delay, noting they’ve paid subscription fees while waiting for this basic localization feature. One merchant mentions waiting two months without publishing their site due to the language mismatch.

Workaround Attempt:
One user suggests editing the “Check out” translation in the theme’s default content under Cart section, though this solution’s effectiveness for dynamic buttons remains unclear.

Status: The issue remains unresolved with no estimated release date for additional language support.

Hey, all!

Jason from Shopify Support. At the moment, the Theme Support team can’t edit the language on the dynamic checkout button. The feature’s code comes directly from Shopify’s core system, so the customization has to be done by the developers. If any customizations were made for one store, it would affect every store.

The currently supported languages for dynamic checkout buttons are:

  • Portuguese-Brazil
  • Portuguese
  • Spanish
  • Italian
  • French
  • English
  • Dutch
  • German
  • Danish
  • Japanese

Note: The “More payment options” button is currently only supported in English.

For the dynamic checkout buttons language requests: If you wish to translate the button other than the language listed, feel free to share your request here with your .myshopify.com URL and the language you need. To reduce the thread’s length and avoid repetitive responses, I may not reply to every single request post. Instead, I will mark “Like” on the post, so you know your request has been submitted already.

I’m actively monitoring this thread and I promise to forward every single one of your requests up to our development team. Thank you all for the valuable feedback. Your patience and understanding are much appreciated!

Best,

Jason
