How to Customize the “Proceed to Checkout” Button Text in WooCommerce

Last update:

WooCommerce is one of the most popular e-commerce platforms for WordPress. It provides a simple and intuitive way to manage your online store and sell products online. However, sometimes you may want to make customizations to your store, such as changing the text on the “Proceed to checkout” button.

By default, the “Proceed to checkout” button in the WooCommerce cart block displays the text “Proceed to checkout”. However, you may want to change this text to something more descriptive or personalized for your store. In this article, we will show you how to change the text on the “Proceed to checkout” button in WooCommerce using two methods: PHP and JavaScript.

Method 1: PHP

The first method for changing the text on the “Proceed to checkout” button is to use PHP. This is useful when you use the classic cart page on your website. To do this, you will need to add the following code to your child theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text', 'woo_custom_cart_button_text' );    // 2.1 +
function woo_custom_cart_button_text() {
    return __( 'Custom Text Here', 'woocommerce' );
}

You can replace “Custom Text Here” with the text you want to display on the button. This code adds a filter to the woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text filter, which changes the text on the “Proceed to checkout” button.

Method 2: JavaScript

The second method for changing the text on the “Proceed to checkout” button is to use JavaScript. Use this method when your apply Woocommerce Cart Block on the cart page. Here is the code:

setTimeout(function(){
    document.querySelector('.woocommerce-cart-form__cart-submit .checkout-button').textContent = 'Custom Text Here';
}, 500);

This code uses a setTimeout function with a delay of 500 milliseconds to allow the page to fully load before accessing and changing the text of the button. The querySelector method is used to select the “Proceed to checkout” button and its textContent property is changed to the desired custom text.

Conclusion

In this article, we have shown you two methods for changing the text on the “Proceed to checkout” button in WooCommerce. By using either PHP or JavaScript, you can easily customize the button to better match your store’s style and branding. Whether you are a developer or just someone looking to make customizations to your WooCommerce store, these methods will allow you to change the text on the “Proceed to checkout” button with ease.
