When you invite vendors to sign up on your marketplace, it is important to have a proper onboarding process. Because for a new user, onboarding instructions are important. Luckily, the Dokan setup wizard has all the necessary instructions for a new vendor to set up their store.

However, if you want to add a personal touch to the setup wizard welcome text, you can do that with slight customization. Because the default welcome text may not be appropriate for your marketplace or your users.

Today we are going to show you how you can change the default welcome text without adding any plugins or core modifications.

3 Easy Steps to Change the Default Welcome Text of the Dokan Setup Wizard

You can easily change the vendor setup wizard text. You don't need to change anything drastically. After we provide you with the steps, you will see for yourself-

Step1: Install a Child Theme If You Haven't
Step2: Use the Code to Change the Default Text
Step3: Save the Code and Try to Run the Setup Wizard

Step 1: Install a Child Theme If You Haven't

The first rule of any customization is, you need to use a child theme. That way, you won't lose any data when you update plugins. Creating a child theme is very easy. You can use raw coding or use plugins to create a child theme for your site.

Step 2: Use the Code to Change the Default Text

Now, open your finder or folders and navigate to WP-Content–> Themes–> Your Child Theme Name–>Open Functions.php. Copy the below code.

class Dokan_Setup_Wizard_Override extends Dokan_Seller_Setup_Wizard {

    /**
     * Introduction step.
     */
    public function dokan_setup_introduction() {
        $dashboard_url = dokan_get_navigation_url();
        ?>
        <h1><?php esc_attr_e( 'Welcome to my marketplace Vendor', 'dokan-lite' ); ?></h1>
        <p><?php echo wp_kses( __( 'Thank you for choosing The Marketplace to power your online store! This quick setup wizard will help you configure the basic settings. <strong>It’s completely optional and shouldn’t take longer than two minutes.</strong>', 'dokan-lite' ), [ 'strong' => [] ] ); ?></p>
        <p><?php esc_attr_e( 'No time right now? If you don’t want to go through the wizard, you can skip and return to the Store!', 'dokan-lite' ); ?></p>
        <p class="wc-setup-actions step">
            <a href="<?php echo esc_url( $this->get_next_step_link() ); ?>" class="button-primary button button-large button-next lets-go-btn dokan-btn-theme"><?php esc_attr_e( 'Let\'s Go!', 'dokan-lite' ); ?></a>
            <a href="<?php echo esc_url( $dashboard_url ); ?>" class="button button-large not-right-now-btn dokan-btn-theme"><?php esc_attr_e( 'Not right now', 'dokan-lite' ); ?></a>
        </p>
        <?php
        do_action( 'dokan_seller_wizard_introduction', $this );
    }
}

new Dokan_Setup_Wizard_Override;

In the above code, you can change the sentences per your need. As we have changed “Welcome to the Marketplace” to “Welcome to my marketplace vendor“. You need to save the code file correctly.

Step 3: Save the Code and Try to Run the Setup Wizard

Therefore, after saving the code correctly you will see that the text in the Dokan setup wizard has changed.

So, this is how you can change the welcome text of the Dokan setup wizard.
