How Do I Change the View Cart Button Text in WooCommerce?

Last updated on December 22, 2022 @ 4:03 am

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform for WordPress sites. One of the features that can be customized in WooCommerce is the “View Cart” button text.

By default, this button says “View Cart” but you can change it to say anything you want.

To change the “View Cart” button text, you will need to edit the WooCommerce code itself. This can be done by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Custom Code.

From here, you can add your own code to change the button text. For example, the following code would change the button text to “My Cart”:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text', 
    'woo_custom_product_add_to_cart_text' ); 
  function woo_custom_product_add_to_cart_text() { 
  return __( 'My Cart', 'woocommerce' ); 
} 

If you want to style the button text, you can do so by using HTML tags. For example, the following code would make the button text bold and underlined:

add_filter( 
    'woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text', 
    'woo_custom_product_add_to_cart_text' ); 
  function woo_custom_product_add_to_cart_text() { 
  return '<b><u>' . __( 'My Cart', 'woocommerce' ) . '</u></b>'; 
} 

You can also use CSS to style the button text. To do this, you will need to add a custom CSS class to the button element and then use that class in your CSS file to apply the desired styles.

For example, the following code will add a custom CSS class of “custom-button” to the “Add to Cart” button:

add_filter( 
   'woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text', 
   'woo_custom_product_add_to_cart_text' ); 
  function woo_custom_product_add_to_cart_text() { 
  return '<button type="submit" 
  class="custom-button">' . __( 'My Cart', 'woocommerce' ) . '</button>'; 
} 

You can then use the “custom-button” class in your CSS file to style the button as desired. For example:

.custom-button { 
   font-size: 18px; 
   font-weight: bold; 
   color: #fff; 
   background-color: #333; 
   border: none; 
   padding: 10px 20px; 
   border-radius: 5px; 
} 

Keep in mind that these styles will only be applied to the “Add to Cart” button on single product pages. If you want to apply the styles to the button on other pages, such as the shop page or the cart page, you will need to use a different CSS selector or class.

Remember to always test your code and CSS changes on a staging site or a development site before pushing them to a live site. This will help ensure that your changes do not cause any issues with your website.

PRO TIP: If you are not comfortable with code or making changes to your site that could possibly break something, then this is not the tutorial for you. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.
