   So after doing some research it seems that it's impossible to extend the core functionality of plugins w/o hacking the core plugin code assuming no filter is provided.

   Is this correct? Can you not overwrite in functions.php by extending a class or just outright overwriting a function?

   Sorry if this is obvious. In the testing I did I was unable to override plugin functions from my functions.php.

   Thanks.

   It's going to depend upon the plugin. Some offer hooks & filters that you can use via your theme or an add-on plugin to modify their functionality but, sadly, many do not.

   Specifically, does anyone have experience extending error checking on checkout?

   Thanks.
