WooCommerce: Rename “Add to Cart” Button if Product Already @ Cart

When talking about UX, or for very specific WooCommerce shops, you might need to tell the user a product is already in the Cart before re-adding it or increasing its quantity from the Shop/Category/Loop and Single Product pages.

The “Add to Cart” button label comes with a filter (actually 2 filters, one for the Single Product page and another for the other pages such as Shop), so all we need to do is targeting those two hooks. We will “filter” the label text in case the product is already in the Cart, and return that back to WooCommerce. If this sounds like Japanese to you (hey, unless you’re from Japan!) don’t worry – simply copy/paste the snippet below as per below instructions.

WooCommerce: Add an Icon to the Add to Cart Buttons

Ecommerce is all about user experience, and making it easier for people to add to cart and checkout smoothly. Reducing the number of checkout fields is a great idea for example – as well as graphically communicating your number 1 objective: “please add to cart now!”.

So, how do you add an icon (or an HTML symbol) to the add to cart buttons in WooCommerce? This can be done in two ways – via CSS if you want to show Fontawesome Icons or via PHP if you prefer to use a simple HTML unicode symbol.

Let’s take a look at both methods!

WooCommerce: Edit Add to Cart Default, Min, Max & Step Product Quantity

Yes, there are many plugins that already achieve this. But my goal at Business Bloomer is to save you from plugin conflicts, delicate updates and to make you learn some PHP.

So, here’s how you can add, with a few lines of PHP, a minimum, maximum, increment and default value to your Add to Cart quantity input field on the single product and cart pages. Who knew it was this easy?

WooCommerce: Add “Quantity” Label in front of Add to Cart Button

Here’s another little WooCommerce tweak for your website user experience: let’s add some text in front of the Add to Cart button that says “Quantity: “.

As usual, we go looking for the right “hook”… the WooCommerce plugin is full of them and adding some custom content in the exact position we want is very easy. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Redirect to Checkout on Add to Cart

Here’s how you force redirection to the checkout page every time a product is added to cart, no matter if you do so from the loop/shop pages or the single product page.

On top of adding the code to your functions.php you also need to double check your WooCommerce settings, see screenshot below. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Enable Holiday / Pause / Vacation Mode

Sometimes, just like physical stores, your WooCommerce website may need a few days off!

And instead of saying nothing and getting stuck with unwanted orders and tons of customer support, maybe you can temporarily pause your WooCommerce store.

In WooCommerce words, this means hiding the add to cart buttons (one line of code) and also show a little notice on every WooCommerce page (one simple setting).

In this way customers are informed that the store is on hold, preventing misunderstandings about order processing times.

WooCommerce: Remove Add Cart, Add View Product @ Shop Page

A fan requested an interesting edit on the Shop/Category page (or “loop”). Instead of having the default “Add to Cart” button, they wanted to remove that and substitute with a “View Product” button link to the single product page. Here’s the simple snippet – enjoy!

WooCommerce: Custom Add to Cart URLs – The Ultimate Guide

In WooCommerce you can add a product to the cart via a custom link. You just need to use the “add-to-cart” URL parameter followed by the product ID.

This tutorial will show you how to create custom URLs to add simple, variable and grouped products to the cart – as well as defining the add to cart quantity and an optional redirect.

You will be able to see each possible scenario, and also copy/paste the custom URLs so that you only need to replace product IDs and quantities.

I strongly recommend you read through all the post comments in case you’re not sure about something – many people have asked the same questions over and over again e.g. “Is it possible to add more than 1 product to the cart?” (to which the answer is “no”, unless you install a custom plugin) or “Why does my product get added twice?”

With this guide it’s much easier to place WooCommerce add to cart buttons on custom landing pages, pricing tables, blog posts, external websites, and so on. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Edit “Add to Cart” Text by Product Category

Today we take a look at the WooCommerce “Add to Cart” buttons. What if you wanted to change the “Add to Cart” text depending on the Product Category? For example, you may want to show “Buy Now” for books and “Add to Basket” for cds.

WooCommerce: Add Product to Cart On Visit Programmatically

Quite an interesting functionality! A WooCommerce client wanted their Cart pre-filled with one product as soon as their customers accessed the website. I don’t remember the exact reason, but this could be useful when you want to give them a free product by default, or you want to send your visitors straight to checkout with a product already in the cart without letting them add anything first.

Adding an item to cart programmatically is the same as “automatically”. Basically, all users will have a default, non-empty Cart filled with an item of your choice. So, let’s see how this snippet works!

WooCommerce: Add to Cart URL to Open in a New Browser Tab

Mostly when working with external products in WooCommerce, you may want to not only rename “Add to Cart” into something else… but also opening the link into a new tab. Here’s how I did it!

WooCommerce: Remove / Edit “Added to Your Cart” Message

A client recently asked me how to remove the message that appears after adding a product to the cart on the WooCommerce product page. This message can sometimes be unnecessary or distracting, especially if you want a smoother shopping experience.

Luckily, WooCommerce allows us to modify or completely remove it with a simple PHP snippet. Whether you prefer to hide the notice or customize the text, a quick code snippet in your theme’s functions.php or a custom plugin will do the job.

Here’s how you can remove or edit the “Added to Your Cart” message in WooCommerce.

WooCommerce: Hide Price & Add to Cart for Logged Out Users

You may want to force users to login in order to see prices and add products to cart. That means you must hide add to cart buttons and prices on the Shop and Single Product pages when a user is logged out.

All you need is pasting the following code in your functions.php (please note: your theme may have overwritten some default WooCommerce functions, hence the code below may not work. Contact me if you need custom code). Enjoy!
