• single_add_to_cart_button
• button
• alt

Now, let’s go to your dashboard, Click on Appearance->Customize.

You may have to scroll down a bit to see the tab Additional CSS. Let’s click on it and you’ll see a box to enter your code:

Now, go to the bottom of that box and enter the following code:

.single_add_to_cart_button.button.alt {
    display: none;
}

If you also want to hide the quantity input, you will also need to put the following code (in addition to the code above):

form .quantity {
    display: none;
}

Please note that there is no spaces between the classes. Let’s see the result:

As you can see, once I put the code in the box, the button Add to cart disappeared.
