What determines "Buy now" or "Add to Cart"?
I have two products in my store. Both are Wordpress plugins, both have the same setting, but one shows "Buy now" with a direct buy link and the other shows "Add to Cart" and adds it to a cart with the option to buy more than one license. Settings are identical (at least, I did not see a difference). So what determines which button is shown in the shop and how can I change it so all show the same button?
Can be digital product / restriction on 1pc/order imo.
Drive Zone good hint. But none had this set up. But it pushed me in the right direction: It is the subscription. If it is a subscription, it has buy-now, one-time has add-to-cart. That's strange because users should also be able to buy more than one plugin at a time...!?
André Daus When a digital product has Pricing set to Simple Variation (at least 1 variant but needs to be marked as Simple Variation) and you set one Simple Variation as default then you will see a button with: View Options.
When a digital product has Pricing set to Simple (not Simple Variation) and selected field: Limit Purchases to 1 item per order then you will see a button with: Buy Now.
When a product has a payment term set to: One Time (not a Subscription) and Limit Purchases to 1 item per order then you will see a button: Add to Cart.
Mat "Limit Purchases to 1 item per order" does not make a difference. I found this:
- Simple products with one-time purchase cause a "Add to Cart" button
- Simple products with a subscription cause a "Buy now" button
- Simple variations cause a "View Options" button
But the "View Options" button is useless for subscriptions because it just opens a modal with a "Buy Now" button. It just adds friction to the checkout. If I create a simple variation for a one-time product, the "View Options" modal shows both, a "Buy Now" button, and a "Add to Cart" button (together with a selector for the number of products).
Why can't I choose what button to show in the shop?
