How Do I Change the Button in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 15, 2023 @ 6:57 pm

If you’re using WooCommerce to sell products on your website, you may want to change the default “Add to Cart” button. This can be done for aesthetic reasons, or to better match the style of your site.

In this article, we’ll show you how to change the button in WooCommerce. We’ll also provide some CSS code that you can use to style the button.

Changing the “Add to Cart” Button in WooCommerce

To change the “Add to Cart” button in WooCommerce, you need to edit the product page template. This template is located in your theme’s folder.

If you’re not sure how to edit templates, we have an article that can help you get started.

Once you’ve located the product page template, look for the following line of code:

WooCommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart();

This line of code calls the function that displays the “Add to Cart” button. To change this button, we need to override this function.

PRO TIP: If you are not comfortable with code or making changes to your theme, we recommend that you do not attempt to change the button in WooCommerce. Doing so could break your site.

We can do this by adding the following code to our theme’s functions.php file:

function my_custom_add_to_cart() {
echo '<button type="submit" class="single_add_to_cart_button button alt">My Custom Button</button>';
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'my_custom_add_to_cart', 10 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'my_custom_add_to_cart', 30 );

This code will override the default “Add to Cart” button with a custom button that says “My Custom Button”. You can change this text to anything you like.

You can also style this button using CSS. For example, let’s say we want our button to be red and have a different font size. We would add the following CSS code to our theme’s style.css file:

.single-product .button { background-color: #ff0000; font-size: 24px; }

We’ve now changed the “Add to Cart” button.
