Adding Icons to Cart Button in WooCommerce

If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you might want to add an icon to the cart button to help improve the visual appeal of your store. This can be done by adding a little bit of code to your functions.php file.

First, you’ll need to find an icon that you want to use. I recommend finding an icon that is 16px by 16px so that it doesn’t look too large on the button. Once you have found an icon, upload it to your WordPress media library.

PRO TIP: If you are unsure about how to add icons to your cart button in WooCommerce, it is best to consult with a professional or someone who is familiar with the process. Adding icons to your cart button can be tricky and if done incorrectly, could result in lost sales or a broken website.

Next, edit your functions.php file and add the following code:

function my_custom_cart_button_text() {
  return '<i class="fa fa-shopping-cart"></i>';
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text', 'my_custom_cart_button_text' );

This code will replace the “Add to Cart” text with an icon font. You can change the “fa-shopping-cart” part of the code to any other icon font class name.

If you want to use a regular image for your icon, you can use this code instead:

function my_custom_cart_button_text() {
  return '<img src="' . get_bloginfo( 'stylesheet_directory' ) . '/images/icon-cart.png" alt="Add to cart" />';
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text', 'my_custom_cart_button_text' );
