GP Cart Button Master

GP Cart Button Master allows your WooCommerce store to create rule-based Add to Cart buttons with custom text, direct-to-checkout redirects, styling, floating mobile buttons, and quantity limits.

Basic usage

↑ Back to top

GP Cart Button Master works using “Rules”. Each rule can target all products or only selected products, and can control button behavior, design, and advanced options.

Access the plugin

↑ Back to top

From your store’s WP Admin dashboard, navigate to:
WooCommerce > Settings > GP Cart Button Master

You will see the Rules screen, where you can create, edit, reorder, and delete rules.

Tip:
Rules are evaluated in order. The first matching rule is applied.

Creating your first rule

↑ Back to top

• Go to WooCommerce > Settings > GP Cart Button Master
• Click Add New Rule
• Configure the rule:

Rule Name

Internal name used to identify the rule in your list.

Scope

Choose where the rule applies:

• All products
• Selected products (pick products from the selector)

General settings (behavior)

Use these options to control what happens when the customer clicks the button:

• Button text: Change “Add to cart” to your preferred label (example: “Buy now”, “Add to basket”)
• Direct Checkout: Skip the cart and send customers straight to checkout
• Redirect URL (optional): Send customers to a custom page instead of checkout/cart

Styling (design)

Use these options to control how the button looks:

• Background color
• Text color
• Font size / weight
• Border radius
• Padding and spacing (if included in the settings)

Advanced settings

Enable extra features when needed:

• Custom quantity UI (if enabled): replaces the default quantity selector with a styled control
• Show icon in the button
• Show price in the button
• Floating Add to Cart (mobile): show a sticky Add to Cart bar/button on product pages
• Quantity limits: set a maximum quantity allowed per product (per rule)
• Shake animation (optional)

Applying rules on shop/category archives

↑ Back to top

Some settings can optionally be applied on shop/category pages (archives).

In your rule, enable the archive options (for example: Apply on archives) if you want your button text and styling to appear on:

• Shop page
• Category pages
• Tag pages (if supported)

Tip:
Many stores only enable archive styling, while keeping “Direct Checkout” for product pages only. This avoids unexpected behavior when customers add items from archives.

Deleting rules

↑ Back to top

From WooCommerce > Settings > GP Cart Button Master:

• Find the rule you want to remove
• Click Delete

Only that rule is removed. The plugin itself and other rules are not affected.

Rule order and priority

↑ Back to top

Rules are processed from top to bottom.

If two rules can match the same product, the rule placed higher in the list wins.

Variable products and out-of-stock products are handled differently.

For variable or out-of-stock products, Cart Button Master skips certain “general” changes (such as button text, redirects, icon, and price display). Styling still apply.

Tip:
This prevents breaking WooCommerce’s default variable product flow (select variations before adding to cart).

Troubleshooting

↑ Back to top

Rule not applying

↑ Back to top

• Confirm the product matches the rule scope (All products vs Selected products)
• Check rule order: move the rule higher if another rule is matching first
• Clear any caching (page cache, minify, server cache) and retest

Button text or redirect not changing on variable products

↑ Back to top

This is expected behavior:
General changes are skipped for variable products to keep the “Choose options” flow intact.
Use styling options if you want visual consistency.

Floating button not showing on mobile

↑ Back to top

• Confirm Floating Add to Cart is enabled in the rule’s Advanced settings
• Test on an actual mobile device (or browser device mode)
• Check theme conflicts: sticky headers or z-index rules can hide the bar

Quantity limit not working

↑ Back to top

If another plugin also limits quantities, temporarily disable it and retest

Confirm the max quantity is enabled and set in the rule
