Why Change the “Add to Cart” Text in WooCommerce?

The default “Add to Cart” button in WooCommerce works fine, but customizing it can:

✅ Increase conversions – More compelling text like “Buy Now” or “Get Yours” can encourage purchases.

✅ Improve user experience – Clearer CTAs (e.g., “Download Now” for digital products) reduce confusion.

✅ Strengthen branding – Match your store’s tone (e.g., “Grab It!” for a fun brand).

✅ Reduce cart abandonment – Action-driven text like “Instant Checkout” can speed up purchases.

    return 'Buy Now'; // Change to your preferred text
