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

  1. 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

  2. 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

Technical Notes

  • Changes appear immediately

  • Works with all button types

  • Supports special characters

  • Can be translated for multilingual stores
