Replace "Add to cart"
Customize the "Add to Cart" button text for individual products using metafields. Change to action-specific text like:
"Pre-order"
"Reserve Now"
"Get Yours"
How to Customize Button Text
Create the Metafield Definition
Go to Settings > Custom Data > Products
Click Add Definition
Enter these details:
Name: "Button text"
Namespace/key:
custom.button_text
Click Save
Update Product Button Text
Open the product in Shopify admin
Scroll to Metafields at bottom
Locate the Button text field
Enter your custom text (e.g., "Pre-order")
Click Save
Pro Tip:
Use the bulk editor to update multiple products at once
Keep custom text short (2-3 words max)
Test different texts to see what converts best
Best Practices
Be clear: "Pre-order" instead of vague alternatives
Create urgency: "Buy Now" vs "Add to Cart"
Match intent: "Customize" for configurable products
Stay consistent: Use the same terms across similar products
