How To Change Add To Cart, View Products, Select Options Button Text In WooCommerce

How To Change Add To Cart, View Products, Select Options Button Text In WooCommerce 1

WooCommerce provides default text for their add to cart buttons. Here are the default text for all types of products in WooCommerce:

  1. Simple product – add to cart
  2. Variable product – select options
  3. Grouped product – View products

While those default text make sense, you often want to change it to something more attractive to boost your sales.

If you know PHP, you can easily change the text as you like. You can stop reading the post now. However, if you don’t know how to edit the WooCommerce functions, this post is for you.

Good news is, we are not going to mess with WooCommerce code today. That’s too risky. We are going to use a plugin that I created specifically for this purpose.

Now, I assume that you have installed the plugin and activated it. If you click on Ultimate ATC Button->Configure buttons link on the left, you’ll see this interface:

Now you can see that at the top left section, there are three text boxes. If you want to change the add to cart text on simple products, simply add your desired text in the first box. For example, I’ll use the text “buy now”.

Make sure you scroll down and click on save changes.

Now, if I view the shop page or the product page of a simple product, I’ll see “Buy Now” instead of the default Add To Cart.

How about adding icon and image to the button

You may wonder can you add icon and images to the button (for example the cart icon). The answer is yes, you can but you probably need fontawesome for the icon and upload your image to your host before you can use that. Also, there are a lot more work to be done that just a simple code to add such features. You may need to use a plugin for that.

Conclusion

As you can see, you can change the add to cart text on the button quite easily. However, this method doesn’t offer more flexibility than that. If you want to have icon and image on the button, you probably need something more powerful such as a plugin.
