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!

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_quantity', 'bbloomer_echo_qty_front_add_cart' );

function bbloomer_echo_qty_front_add_cart() {
	global $product;
	if ( $product->get_min_purchase_quantity() == $product->get_max_purchase_quantity() ) return;
 	echo '<div class="qty">Quantity: </div>'; 
}

And a couple of CSS lines as well:

div.qty {
    float: left;
    padding: 10px;
}

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101

    Annoyingly it isn’t quite as simple as this. When a product has a stock level of 1 WooCommerce hides the quantity input. this means you are left with your pseudo ‘Quantity’ label showing and no corresponding input. Also worth noting WooCommerce outputs a visually hidden label element for the input, therefore it would be a good idea to add a aria-hidden=”true” attribute to the added element so assistive technology isn’t getting duplicate content.

      Thank you. I’ve fixed the “sold individually” scenario, so the label doesn’t appear now when there is no quantity input. Thanks re: the aria-hidden tip as well!

    how can i use this code so it uses the translations of Quantity and not the english word. Thanks in advance.

    add_action( 'woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_quantity', 'wp_echo_qty_front_add_cart' );
function wp_echo_qty_front_add_cart() {
 echo '<div class="qty">Quantity:</div>'; 
}

      In order to make a string translatable you have to wrap it in a __() function: https://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers#Translatable_strings – hope this helps 🙂

    HI Rodolfo,

    This is an incredibly clear and helpful little post and snippet(s) – thanks so much.

    And it came up close to the top of a google search for ‘woocommerce product quantity field label’

    I am using product variations for simple venue hire products for a church hall. So i’ve used the variatons to set the number of hours in the hire booking, and the quantity field to set the number of days the hire is repeated. So it was really important to be able to label that field – i’ve done so using ‘days’ instead of ‘quantity.

    I’ve added this code, but the only thing that doesn’t work is the plus or minus buttons which we’ve added to the sides of the quantity box, using a previous code of yours.

    The quantity box stays empty and the plus or minus buttons won’t work.

    Without your filter for the quantity div, the plus or minus buttons work ok.

    Not sure what would be the best way to resolve this?

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew

      I guess some adjustment might be needed to make them work together, but I’m afraid it’s custom work. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. Thanks a lot for your understanding!

        Hi Gary, thanks for your comment! I just tested this again with Storefront theme and it works perfectly. Maybe your theme (or another plugin) is messing/conflicting with my snippet?

        To troubleshoot, disable all plugins but WooCommerce and also switch temporarily to “Twentyseventeen” theme (load the snippet there in functions.php) – does it work? If yes, you have a problem with your current theme or one of the plugins.

        Hope this helps!

    Hi Rodolfo,

    I managed to change the label but after adding the CSS code in my X theme, I am still not able to see the lable on the left side of the box. It’s still on top of the quantity box.

    Can you please email me, as I have a few projects to discuss as well.

    Cheers

      Hey Chirag, thanks so much for your comment! I guess this is X-theme specific, so the CSS will need to be changed in order to work. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. ~R

      You could override the default Woo template called 

      global/quantity-input.php

      That way the quantity label will only show when the quantity input field is displayed.

    Great site with awesome tips. Much appreciated.

    Regarding this, didn’t work for me with variation products. Found a workaround with CSS that works for me in case anyone still needs it:

    .quantity:before {
  content:"Quantity:";
  margin-right:10px
}
.quantity input {
  display:inline;
  margin-right:30px
}
.woocommerce-variation-add-to-cart {
  margin-top:20px
}

    This didn’t work for me because it displays before variables…..

    But I did the same thing with simple CSS:

    /* ADD “Quantity” in front of Quantity and Add to Cart buttons */
    .woocommerce div.product form.cart div.quantity::before {
    content: “Quantity: “;
    font-weight: bold;
    padding-right: 8px;
