How Do I Change the Button Text in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 15, 2023 @ 2:51 pm

One of the most frequently asked questions by WooCommerce beginners is how to change the button text. By default, the button text is set to “Add to Cart”.

If you want to change it to something else, like “Buy Now” or “Read More”, there are a few ways you can do it.

In this article, we will show you how to change the button text in WooCommerce.

How to Change the Button Text in WooCommerce

There are two ways you can change the button text in WooCommerce. You can either do it through the settings or with a plugin. We will show you both methods.

PRO TIP: If you are not a developer or comfortable with code, we recommend not attempting to change the button text in WooCommerce as it can break your site.

Method 1: Change Button Text Through Settings

This method is suitable for those who are comfortable working with code. If you are not comfortable working with code, then we recommend that you use Method 2.

First, you need to add this code snippet to your child theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin:

function wpb_woo_change_order_button_text() {
return 'BUY NOW';
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_button_text', 'wpb_woo_change_order_button_text' );

You can change the word “BUY NOW” to anything you want. For example, if you want the button text to be “Buy Now $9.99”, then you would need to change the code snippet to this:

function wpb_woo_change_order_button_text() {
return 'Buy Now $9.99';
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_button_text', 'wpb_woo_change_order_button_text' );

Save your changes and refresh your page. You should see that the button text has been changed.

Method 2: Change Button Text With a Plugin

If you’re not comfortable working with code, you can also change the button text in WooCommerce using a plugin. There are several plugins available that allow you to customize the button text without having to write any code.

One popular plugin is “WooCommerce Custom Add to Cart Text.” This plugin allows you to change the button text for individual products, as well as for all products on your site.

To use this plugin, simply install and activate it on your WordPress site. Once it’s activated, go to the WooCommerce settings in your WordPress dashboard and select the “Custom Add to Cart Text” tab. Here, you can change the button text for all products on your site, or for individual products by editing the product in question.

In conclusion, you can change the button text in WooCommerce by editing the code in your child theme’s functions.php file or by using a plugin like “WooCommerce Custom Add to Cart Text”. The choice of method depends on your level of comfort with code and your specific needs.
