Thank you!")* Hi, You can do that purely via a translation override in HikaShop. Just go in the back-office: 1. In Joomla admin, go to Components → HikaShop → Configuration → Languages. 2. Click the edit icon for your current language. In the editor, copy the line with the key for “Add to cart” (probably `ADD_TO_CART`) into the override textarea. 3. Change the translation on the right-hand side to your preferred wording (for example, “Reserve your spot”) and save. This way, your custom text will persist across updates. For more details, see the “How to modify translations” documentation : [ www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify](https://www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMyLWNvbnRlbnQtY3JlYXRpb24vOTA5OTQ0LWNoYW5naW5nLXRoZS1hZGQtdG8tY2FydC10ZXh0P3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[Noe](/forum/user/60747-noe "View Noe's Profile")** - [![Noe's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/60747-noe "View Noe's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/60747-noe) Less More - Posts: 59 - Thank you received: 6 - - 11 months 1 day ago [\#369627](#369627) by [Noe](/forum/user/60747-noe "View Noe's Profile") Replied by *[Noe](/forum/user/60747-noe "View Noe's Profile")* on topic *[Changing the add to cart text](/forum/32-content-creation/909944-changing-the-add-to-cart-text#369627 "-- HikaShop version -- : 5.1.6 -- Joomla version -- : 5.3.1 -- PHP version -- : 8.2 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : firefox Hello, I would like to know how to change the "add to cart" text depending on the product or category as I'm selling products but also seats for a workshop on my website.

Thank you!")* Thank you Nicolas for your answer, but what I meant is that I have various categories (original artworks, fine art prints and events). For some categories (original artworks and fine art prints) the "add to cart" text is what I need. However, I would like to change the text that appears for products in the events category. So, some of my products would have the "add to cart" text and some will have the "reserve your spot" text. I think that what you are suggesting I do in your answer will change the text for all products which is not what I want.

In that case, you want to create a custom field of the table "product" with the column name "product_addtocart_message". You could have it of the type "text", and enter the text you want in each product, for the ones that need another text than the default one. Or you could have a "radio" or "single dropdown" type, with the values being the different texts for the button. Then, in each product, you can select the value you want.

Thank you!")* Hi, What do you mean by "it's not working in this case" ? It should be the same for variants. Edit each variant of the product, and enter the text you want in the product_addtocart_message custom field of each variant. For the "choose options" button, if you want another text for all the products with variants, you can just create a translation override for the translation key CHOOSE_OPTIONS And if you want different texts for different products for that button, you want to create a custom field of the table "product" with the column name "product_chooseoptions_message" and then you can enter the text you want in each product in that custom field, or leave blank to use the default text.
