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
