In this blog post, you will learn how to change the Button Text in WooCommerce—and why it’s important for the eCommerce store.
When your customers browse your WooCommerce site, they see product pages with images and buttons. These buttons lead users to the next step in the navigation.
You can change the text of these buttons to encourage and entice visitors to take action. For example, instead of an “Add to Cart” button, you could have an “Order Now” button or a “Reserve and Collect” button. Changing the button text is a great way to make your eCommerce store stand out from other WooCommerce sites.
Let’s begin!
Why Is Add to Cart Button Text Important?
Buttons are a critical component of eCommerce websites. These are the clickable links that customers use to enter information and make purchases.
This means that the button text is the main component of the user’s experience. If customers can’t understand the button text, they may not be able to use the site and purchase your products.
WooCommerce comes with a default “Add to Cart” button text that’s clear and does the job for most sites.
Why Change WooCommerce Add to Cart Button Text?
Customizing your WooCommerce site to match your brand is an excellent way to attract more customers. Buttons are one way to express your brand’s voice and make them unique to your store.
As we’ve discussed, the button text is an important part of the user experience. Therefore, you must change it to reflect your brand voice. In addition, you can also change it to encourage customers to take action.
Using different variations of button text depending on the type of product also helps improve the click-through rate. You can A/B test this to see which one produces the best results.
