How Do I Rename the Place Order Button in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:36 pm

In eCommerce, the “Place Order” button is one of the most important elements on a page. It’s the final step in the purchasing process, and it needs to be clear and easy to find.

In WooCommerce, the default “Place Order” button text is “Proceed to Checkout.” But what if you want to change it to something else?

There are two ways to change the “Place Order” button text in WooCommerce. The first way is to use a plugin. There are many plugins available that will let you customize the button text.

The second way is to edit the code yourself. If you’re comfortable with code, you can edit the template file that contains the button text. Both methods are described in detail below.

Using a Plugin

There are many plugins available that will let you customize the “Place Order” button text. Some of these plugins are free, and others are paid. We recommend using a plugin called “WooCommerce Customizer.”

This plugin is free and it’s easy to use. Once you install and activate the plugin, you’ll see a new “WooCommerce Customizer” link appear in your WordPress admin menu. Click on that link to open the plugin settings page.

On the plugin settings page, you’ll see a field where you can enter your desired button text. Enter your text and then click on the “Save Changes” button. That’s all there is to it!

Editing the Code

If you’re comfortable with code, you can edit the template file that contains the button text. To do this, go to your WordPress theme folder and locate the file called “checkout/form-checkout.php.” Open that file in a text editor and look for this line of code:
