How to Customize Add to Cart Button in WooCommerce
The above code snippet, though long, is simple to understand. I will provide a brief description of the important components of the code snippet so that you can understand and modify it according to your needs.

‘post_type’ => ‘product’ This is the default WooCommerce custom post type

‘posts_per_page’ => 12 This is the maximum number of posts that can be displayed on a page. At the moment, it is set to 12. You can change it according to the requirements of your store.

apply_filters( ‘woocommerce_short_description’, $post->post_excerpt ) It displays the short and long description of the product.

esc_url( $product->add_to_cart_url() ) This cart page, coupled with an echo statement, displays the URL and the item (if any) in the cart.

esc_attr( $product->get_sku() ) With this the ID of the product

esc_html( $product->add_to_cart_text() ) Add to Cart

Add Text Above the Add To Cart Button

Another great oppertunity of customization is the addition of a text just above the custom Add to Cart button. The following snippet adds a line of text. This is made possible with the echo statement.

add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'add_to_cart_button_woocommerce', 20 );
function add_to_cart_button_woocommerce() {
    echo '
WooCommerce customize add to cart button
';
}

This is how the line of text would be displayed screenshot:

add_filter('woocommerce_product_single_add_to_cart_text','custom_add_to_cart_button_woocommerce');
function custom_add_to_cart_button_woocommerce() {
return __('WooCommerce custom add to cart button code', 'woocommerce');
