Here is a code snippet to edit the Proceed to checkout text in the Woocommerce Shopping cart on your WordPress website.

You will need to open your functions.php file under Appearance> Editor and select the file. Then edit and save. Or you can edit the file using FTP eg Filezilla. Keeping this in your functions.php file is easier than editing this in the Woocommerce template files.

If you need to edit Woocommerce template files for another reason, remember to make a copy of them and put them in your theme folder. That way, when Woocommerce plugin is updated you will not lose your customisation. Woocommerce has some instructions for overriding templates via a theme here.


<?php
/**
* Change Proceed To Checkout Text in WooCommerce
* Place this in your Functions.php file
**/
function woocommerce_button_proceed_to_checkout() {
 $checkout_url = WC()->cart->get_checkout_url();
 ?>
 <a href="<?php echo $checkout_url; ?>" class="checkout-button button alt wc-forward"><?php _e( 'Checkout', 'woocommerce' ); ?></a>
 <?php
 }

After apply the below code the Proceed to Card button will be “Checkout”

Hooks in WordPress essentially allow you to change or add code without editing core files. They are used extensively throughout WordPress and WooCommerceand are very useful for developers. There are two types of hook: actions and filters. from Introduction to Hooks and Actions

Here is my kitchen table explanation:

Hooks are special places in the code where you can “hang” something. A little like having hooks in the entrance way of your home. You might have a hook for your keys, a hook for your raincoat and a hook for your bag. The hook has a location in your home and it also might have an object on that hook.

There are 2 kinds of hooks. Action hooks and Filter Hooks.

Action hooks are places I can add extra belongings, eg hang another bag ie add in some extra code to do something extra at that location.

Filter hooks are used to change the output. A bit like say, tell me the amount of money in the bag.

Here is an action hook.

add_action( 'action_name', 'your_function_name' );

function your_function_name() {
// Your code
}

Here is an action hook.

add_filter( 'filter_name', 'your_function_name' );

function your_function_name( $variable ) {
// Your code
return $variable;
}

Hope that makes sense:-)
