How to Translate the CartFlows Plugin with GlotPress?

CartFlows is translation ready out of the box. This means that all the strings in the plugin can be translated to your language very easily. In this article, let』s explore how you can get it in your own language.

Contributing your Localization through GlotPress

We maintain our translations on a GlotPress project. If you want to contribute translations to your language, just register for an account on the same GlotPress project and start contributing to the translations.

When any language is more than 90% translated we add that language to the plugin so that it is available to all the users. But if your language is not 90%  translated, you can still download the language manually and start using it, We encourage everyone to contribute translations so that all the users will benefit from it.

Downloading Translations Manually

Head over to  https://translate.cartflows.com/glotpress/projects/cartflows/ and look for your language in the list.

Now scroll down on the page where you will see the options to export the translations

Select the format to be 『Machine Message Object Catalog  .mo『 and then select export.

Make sure the name of the exported file is  for example, Great Britain English should be en_GB.mo

Upload the File on Your Server

The file that you just downloaded should be uploaded in – /wp-content/languages/plugins/carflows/

Notes –

The language of your WordPress installation should be the same as you want for our plugin. To change the language of WordPress, go to – Dashboard > Settings > General.The file should have a correct name so WordPress can read it. You may refer to this article for more information.

How To Install WooCommerce?

When you first install CartFlows, it will notify you that WooCommerce needs to be installed.
You will be presented with an option to have CartFlows install WooCommerce for you.
Then you will be asked to go into the WooCommerce setup wizard which will walk you though configuring WooCommerce.

Using Pricing Tables

CartFlows will work perfectly with your pricing tables.
Here is the best way to have each pricing option is a pricing table link into its own unique flow.

Create a normal WordPress page that will have your pricing table in it. 
Create a new flow for each pricing option. This is where our clone feature comes in handy. You can create 1 flow where the first step will be the checkout, then add your order bumps, upsells, downsells, and thank you page. For the checkout page, you will add the product for 1 of your pricing plan options.
Then clone the flow for each of the additional pricing plans. 
Change the product in the checkout step for the correct pricing plan.
Copy the link from each checkout to the correct button in your pricing table.

Flatsome UX Builder?

In order for the Flatsome UX Builder to be available on CartFlows steps, the following function needs to be added to your child themes function file.

// Do not include this if already open!
/**
* Code goes in theme functions.php
*/
add_action( 'init', function () {
if( function_exists( 'add_ux_builder_post_type' ) ) {
add_ux_builder_post_type( 'cartflows_step' );
}
} );

Alternatively you can use the free Code Snippets plugin to add custom functions to your website.

How To Use WooCommerce?

WooCommerce is the most widely used e-commerce platform on the internet.
With nearly 5 million websites using WooCommerce, the platform is well documented on their official website https://docs.woocommerce.com

Creating Variable Products

It's common to have the same core product, but slight variations of it. So instead of creating a new unique product in WooCommerce, you can instead make 1 product, create an attribute, then create variations of it.

Sound confusing? Let me give you an example.

Say you have a shirt design of a panda. For this shirt you have different colors and sizes available, but the shirt design is the same.

In this example, size and color are attributes.

Here is how to set this up in practice, its a full tutorial on WooCommerce, but when you click play it will go to the segment on variations.
