How Do I Change the Sales Text in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 19, 2023 @ 3:42 pm

If you’re using WooCommerce to run your online store, you may want to change the sales text that appears on the product page. By default, WooCommerce displays the following text:

Sale!

This text is hard-coded into the WooCommerce plugin and cannot be changed from the WordPress admin area. However, it is possible to change this text by editing the plugin files directly. In this article, we’ll show you how to change the sale text in WooCommerce.

Before we begin, please note that we’ll be making changes to core plugin files. If you update WooCommerce, your changes will be overwritten. We recommend creating a child theme before proceeding.

With that said, let’s get started.

Changing the Sale Text in WooCommerce

First, you need to connect to your WordPress site using an FTP client or File Manager in cPanel. Once connected, go to the wp-content/plugins/woocommerce directory and open the sale.php file in a text editor.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with code or WooCommerce, then do not attempt to change the sales text in WooCommerce. You could break your site and/or create problems that are difficult to fix.

Next, find the following line of code:

.woocommerce-sale-flash { 

    content: "Sale!"; 

    } 				  

You can change the word “Sale!” to anything you want. For example:

.woocommerce-sale-flash { 

           content: "Discount!"; 

           }   

Note: If you want to add HTML tags like <span>, <b>, or <i> make sure they are within quotes like this:
“Discount!”. Otherwise, they won’t work. Once done, save your changes and upload the file back to your server.

That’s it! You have successfully changed the sale text in WooCommerce. If you have any questions or need any further assistance feel free to contact our support team at anytime 24 hours Monday – Friday! Thank You!
