How Do I Customize the Quantity Button in WooCommerce?

If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you may want to customize the quantity button to make it more user-friendly. By default, the quantity button is a plus and minus sign, which can be confusing for some customers. In this article, we’ll show you how to customize the quantity button in WooCommerce.

There are two ways to customize the quantity button in WooCommerce. You can either use a plugin or edit the code yourself.

If you’re not comfortable with code, we recommend using a plugin. For this tutorial, we’ll be using the Code Snippets plugin.

Once you’ve installed and activated the Code Snippets plugin, click on ‘Add New’ in the left-hand menu. Give your snippet a name, then paste the following code into the code editor:

add_filter( ‘woocommerce_quantity_input_args’, ‘jk_woocommerce_quantity_input_args’, 10, 2 ); // 2 = priority, 10 = accepted args function jk_woocommerce_quantity_input_args( $args, $product ) { if ( is_singular( ‘product’ ) ) { $args[‘input_value’] = 1; // Starting value } return $args; }
This code will change the default quantity button to a plus and minus sign. If you want to use something different, like an up and down arrow, simply change the input value to 2. You can also change the starting value to anything you like.

If you don’t want to use a plugin, you can edit the code yourself. Simply open up your theme’s functions.php file and paste in the following code:

add_filter( ‘woocommerce_quantity_input_args’, ‘jk_woocommerce_quantity_input_args’, 10, 2 ); function jk_woocommerce_quantity_input_args( $args, $product ) { if ( is_singular( ‘product’ ) ) { $args[‘input_value’] = 1; // Starting value } return $args; }
Once you’ve saved your changes, you should see the new quantity button on your product pages.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there are two ways that you can customize the quantity button in WooCommerce.

If you are not comfortable with code, then we recommend using a plugin. For this tutorial, we used the Code Snippets plugin.
