How Do I Change the Cart Link in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 9:01 pm

If you’re using WooCommerce to sell products on your website, you may want to change the text of the “Add to Cart” button. By default, this button says “Add to Cart” but you can change it to say anything you want.

To change the text of the “Add to Cart” button, you need to edit the WooCommerce template files. Don’t worry, this is easier than it sounds. Just follow these steps:

1. Log into your WordPress site and go to your WooCommerce settings.

Under the “General” tab, there will be a setting called “Store notice.” Here, you can enter the text that you want to display on the “Add to Cart” button.

2. Once you’ve saved your changes, go to your website’s front-end and check out the “Add to Cart” button. It should now say whatever text you entered in the WooCommerce settings.

3. If you want to take things a step further, you can edit the WooCommerce template files directly and change the text of the “Add to Cart” button there. This is a bit more advanced and we don’t recommend doing this unless you’re comfortable with code.

4. To edit the template files, go to your WordPress theme folder and find the “woocommerce” folder.

Inside this folder, there will be a file called “single-product-add-to-cart.php.” This is the file that controls the text of the “Add to Cart” button.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with code or are not comfortable working with code, we recommend contacting a developer or WooCommerce support for assistance. Making changes to your WooCommerce code can be risky and can result in unexpected behavior on your site.

5. Open this file in a code editor and find the line that says: $button_text = __( ‘Add to cart’, ‘woocommerce’ ); This is the line that controls the text of the button.

You can change it to say anything you want. For example, if you wanted the button to say “Buy Now,” you would change this line to: $button_text = __( ‘Buy Now’, ‘woocommerce’ );

6. Save your changes and upload the file back to your server. Check out your website’s front-end again and see how the “Add to Cart” button has changed.

That’s all there is to it! With just a few simple steps, you can easily change the text of the “Add To Cart” button in WooCommerce
