Overview #

The WooCommerce Add to Cart Button Visibility plugin is used for disabling (and hiding) the add-to-cart button from your single product, category, and/or archive pages. Store owners can replace this button with HTML-formatted text or without it.

As per your store’s needs, you can:

• Hide add-to-cart button
• Replace the add-to-cart button with HTML text

With our plugin, both these functions can be made to work:

• For all category/archive pages;
• For all single product pages;
• For a particular product on its single product page;
• For a particular product from all category/archive pages;
• For one or multiple product categories for all single product pages;
• For one or multiple product categories for all category/archive pages.

Note: To control the visibility of the add-to-cart button by user role, use the Modules By User Roles plugin alongside the Add to Cart Button Visibility plugin. You can find both of these in your store’s Booster Settings.

When Should I change the Visibility of my Add to Cart Button in Store?

• When you do not have the stock temporarily;
• When a product is out-of-stock;
• When you have put a hold on sales of a product for your online buyers;
• When you want to sell products at custom-pricing;
• When a product is about to be launched and you want your customers to know about it;
• When your store is soon starting a new product category;
• When you want people to ask product prices through inquiry.

4. Scroll down to the Add to Cart Button Visibility plugin.

Click on the Enable Section checkbox for the All Products option. It will hide add to cart button for the selected conditions storewide.

Disable Buttons on Category/Archives Pages

1. Make sure that the Enable Section for All Products option is selected.
2. To hide the add to cart button for all the category and archive pages at once, select Disabled for the Disable Buttons on Category/Archives Pages option.
3. For the Advanced: Method field, the options “add filter” and “remove action” do the same work. However, as your theme is any one of these hooks, try selecting the second option if the first one doesn’t work.
4. If you want to replace your button with some text, enter it in the Content section. This field accepts HTML input and can style your content as per your input. To just hide the add to cart button, leave the Content field blank.
