If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you might want to customize the “add to cart” button to better match the look and feel of your site. In this article, we’ll show you how to add a custom “add to cart” button in WooCommerce.

Adding a custom “add to cart” button in WooCommerce is pretty easy. First, you need to create a new file called “custom-add-to-cart.php” in your child theme’s folder. Then, copy and paste the following code into that file:

* Custom Add to Cart Button
*/
function WooCommerce_custom_add_to_cart_button() {
echo '<button class="button alt" type="submit">' . __( 'Add to cart', 'woocommerce' ) . '</button>';
}
add_action(  
  'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item',  
  'woocommerce_custom_add_to_cart_button', 10 ); ?>
