WooCommerce: Rename “Place Order” Button @ Checkout

The “Place Order” button is the call to action you want ALL customers to take, right? Well, changing its label to a more specific, custom message could mean a small increase in sales conversion.

Thankfully, you can try this with as low as 4 lines of PHP, even if you don’t know coding. Just copy and paste the snippet by following the instructions below and give your unique store a unique checkout message πŸ™‚

  2. Hi Hello,
    This code works great.
    I just wanted to ask if there is a possibility, that if the customer chose “phone payment”, the text Place Order would remain. And if he chose to pay with credit card, will the text change as in the code you wrote?

    1. Hi John, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is definitely possible, 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!
