How can I rename Labels in WooCommerce ?

To rename labels in WooCommerce, you can use a plugin like “Say What” or add custom code to your theme’s functions.php file. Here are the steps to do this using the Say What plugin:

Install and activate the “Say What” plugin from the WordPress plugin repository.
Go to Tools > Text changes in your WordPress dashboard.
Click on the “Add New” button to create a new text change.
In the “Original String” field, enter the label you want to rename. For example, if you want to rename the “Add to Cart” button to “Buy Now”, enter “Add to Cart” in this field.
In the “Text Domain” field, enter “woocommerce” (without the quotes).
In the “Text Context” field, enter “woocommerce” (without the quotes).
In the “Replacement String” field, enter the new label you want to use. For example, if you want to rename “Add to Cart” to “Buy Now”, enter “Buy Now” in this field.
Click the “Save Changes” button to save your text change.

Once you’ve completed these steps, the label you renamed should now appear throughout your WooCommerce store with the new label you specified.

Note that if you prefer to use custom code instead of a plugin, you can use the gettext filter to replace the original text with your new label. Here’s an example:

function rename_add_to_cart_button( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
    if ( $text === 'Add to cart' && $domain === 'woocommerce' ) {
        $translated_text = 'Buy Now';
    }
    return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'rename_add_to_cart_button', 20, 3 );

You can add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin file to rename the label. But before all changes do your backup ready for any error first.
