Add Text Before and After Add to Cart

On Single Product Pages

Before Add to Cart Button

Can be done easily with woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_button hook, example:

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_button', 'misha_before_add_to_cart_btn' );

function misha_before_add_to_cart_btn(){
	echo 'Some custom text here';
}

If you are going to use some conditions there, you can obtain current product ID with get_the_ID() function.

After Add to Cart Button

If you are going to add some custom text after “Add to Cart” button, woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button hook should help you. Example of usage this hook

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button', 'misha_after_add_to_cart_btn' );

function misha_after_add_to_cart_btn(){
	echo 'Some custom text here';
}

2 More Hooks

But there also 2 more hooks which are very similar – woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_form and woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_form.

I think you can even guess what is their difference. So, the hook woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_form will be fired a little bit earlier that woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_button, before <form> tag.

And the hook woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_form will be fired a little bit later than woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button, after the closing </form> tag.

On Shop / Product Category Pages

Do you think the above hook will work the same in case you want to add some text on the archive pages? Nope 😁 It is completely different here. But also simple.

Either you would like to display the text before the Add to Cart button or after – in both cases woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link should be OK for you.

Just look at this example and everything will become clear for you:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link', 'misha_before_after_btn', 10, 3 );

function misha_before_after_btn( $add_to_cart_html, $product, $args ){
	$before = ''; // Some text or HTML here
	$after = ''; // Add some text or HTML here as well

	return $before . $add_to_cart_html . $after;
}

$product

It is a product object – it could be WC_Product_Simple or WC_Product_Variable or even WC_Product_Subscription if you are using WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin. You can obtain $product->id from these objects for example.

$args

It just contains button attributes like quantity, class names etc
