Custom Add to Cart labels for WooCommerce

Tired of the boring default “Add to Cart” button? Want to say “Buy Now”, “Book Today”, “Subscribe”, or “Get Started” instead?

Custom Add to Cart labels for WooCommerce lets you change button text for every product type on single product pages and archive/shop pages. One simple settings page, zero coding, full control.

What you can customize

Single product pages:
* Simple products → “Buy Now”, “Order Now”
* Variable products → “Select Options”, “Choose Your Size”
* Grouped products → “View Products”, “Choose Items”
* External/Affiliate products → “Shop Now”, “Visit Store”
* Bookable products (WooCommerce Bookings) → “Book Now”, “Reserve”
* Subscription products → “Subscribe Now”, “Join”
* Variable Subscription products → “Choose Plan”

Archive / Shop pages:
* Simple products
* Variable products
* Grouped products
* External/Affiliate products
* Bookable products
* Subscription products
* Variable Subscription products

What makes this plugin different?

Unlike complex alternatives, this plugin does one thing well — change add-to-cart button text. No bloat, no page builders, no confusing UI. Just clean settings, instant results, and lightweight code that won’t slow your store.

Developer Hooks

The plugin works with WooCommerce’s standard add-to-cart text filters:

woocommerce_product_single_add_to_cart_text — For single product pages
woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text — For archive/shop pages

Our callbacks use unique prefixed names (wccatcl_product_single_add_to_cart_text and wccatcl_product_loop_add_to_cart_text) to avoid conflicts with other plugins.

To override programmatically, use a higher priority (lower number):

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_single_add_to_cart_text', 'my_custom_function', 5, 2 );
