How Do I Edit the Add to Cart Button in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:45 pm

Open your WordPress admin panel and go to Appearance > Editor.

On the right hand side, you will see a list of files that you can edit. Find the one called cart.php and click on it.

Once you have opened cart.php, look for the following line of code:

%s', esc_url( $product->add_to_cart_url() ), esc_attr( $product->id ), esc_attr( $product->get_sku() ), $product->is_purchasable() ? 'add_to_cart_button' : '', esc_attr( $product->product_type ), esc_html( $product->add_to_cart_text() ) ), $product ); ?>

PRO TIP: If you are not a skilled developer, we strongly recommend that you do not attempt to edit the Add to Cart button in WooCommerce. Doing so could break your site, and you could inadvertently introduce security vulnerabilities.

This is the line that outputs the “Add to Cart” button. You can change the text “Add to Cart” by replacing it with your own text, like this:

%s', esc url ( $product- > add to cart url ()), esc attr ( $product- > id ), esc attr ( $product- > get sku ()), $product- is purchasable () ? 'add to cart button' : '', esc attr ( $product- > product type ), 'Buy Now' ) ,$ product ); ?>

You can also use HTML tags like , , or to style your button text. For example:

%s', esc url ( $product- > add to cart url ()), esc attr ( $product- > id ), esc attr ( $product- > get sku ()), $product- is purchasable () ? 'add to cart button' : '', esc attr ( $product- > product type ), 'Buy Now' ) ,$ product ); ?>

If you want to change the “Add to Cart” button for a specific product, then you can do that from the product editing screen in WooCommerce. Go to WooCommerce > Products, and then edit the product that you want to change.

On the product editing screen, scroll down to the “Inventory” section and look for the “Add to Cart Text” field. You can enter your own text here, and it will only affect that specific product.
