How to Change the Default “Select” Button Text in WooFood

Thursday May 26, 2022

When using WooFood – the WooCommerce food delivery plugin, you may want to customize the default “Select” button text that appears on product listings. Instead of the default “Select” text, you can change it to something more engaging like “Order Now” to encourage conversions.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to easily modify the button text using a simple WooCommerce filter in your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.


Why Change the Default “Select” Button Text?

✔ Improves call-to-action (CTA) – Encourages customers to place orders faster.
✔ Enhances user experience – Custom button text makes navigation clearer.
✔ Matches your branding – Use language that aligns with your restaurant’s style.
✔ Increases conversions – A more engaging CTA can lead to higher order rates.


How to Customize the “Select” Button Text in WooFood

To modify the default WooFood “Select” button text, add the following PHP snippet to your theme’s functions.php

add_filter("woofood_product_add_to_cart_text_ajax", "wpslash_tweak_change_default_select_button_text", 10, 1);

function wpslash_tweak_change_default_select_button_text($default)
{
	return "Order Now";
}

How This Code Works

✅ The woofood_product_add_to_cart_text_ajax filter modifies the default WooFood button text.
✅ The function wpslash_tweak_change_default_select_button_text() replaces the default text with “Order Now”.
✅ You can customize the button text to match your restaurant’s branding (e.g., “Add to Order”“Get Your Meal”, etc.).


Best Practices for Customizing the WooFood Button Text

🔹 Choose a strong CTA – Use action-oriented phrases like “Place Order” or “Get It Now”.
🔹 Ensure consistency – Keep the same button text style across your menu.
🔹 Test your changes – Preview the button on desktop and mobile to ensure a seamless experience.
