# Add to Cart Button Labels for External Products

External (affiliate) products show a "Buy product" button that sends shoppers to another site. With [Change Add to Cart Button Text for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/add-to-cart-button-labels-woocommerce/) you can replace that wording so it fits the destination, for example "View on Amazon" or "Check price". External product labels live in the **Per Product Type & Condition** section and are free.

### Step-by-step setup

1. Go to **WPFactory > Add to Cart Button Labels** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Add to Cart Button Labels**).
2. Open **Per Product Type & Condition** and tick **Enable section**.
3. Scroll to the **External Products** group.
4. Enter your text in **Single product page** and **Shop page**.
5. Click **Save changes**.

### Conditions available for external products

External products support these extra state-based labels. Leave any blank to keep the default "Buy product" text:

| Condition | Fires when | Free/Pro |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Empty price | The external product has no price set. | Free |
| Free product | The external product price is zero. | Free |
| On sale | The external product is on sale. | Pro |

External products do not have an "Already in cart" state, because they are never added to the cart. That condition is simply not shown for this type.

### Add dynamic content

External labels accept the same shortcodes as every other section, so you can show the price in the button, for example `Buy now for [alg_wc_atcbl_product_price]`.

### Get more control

External product labels are free, except the On sale condition. [Change Add to Cart Button Text for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/add-to-cart-button-labels-woocommerce/) Pro unlocks On sale labels along with the rest of the Pro toolkit. [See what Pro unlocks](https://wpfactory.com/item/add-to-cart-button-labels-woocommerce/).
