How can I change the pre-order button text on the Showcase theme?

Topic summary

A user seeks to change the pre-order button text from “Pre-Order” to “Schedule Consultation” on Shopify’s Showcase theme.

Manual Code Editing Approach:

  • Navigate to Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code
  • Locate the product form section file (typically main-product.liquid or product-template.liquid)
  • Find and modify the submit button text directly in the code
  • Limitation: Theme updates may overwrite manual changes if no backup is saved

Alternative Solution:

  • Use the K1 PreOrder app, which allows customizing button text globally or per-rule without touching theme code
  • Features include automatic button replacement and real-time preview
  • Avoids the risk of losing changes during theme updates

Status: The discussion remains open with two viable paths presented—manual coding (requires technical knowledge) or using a third-party app (no-code solution).

Hey,

Unfortunately, Shopify doesn’t provide a simple UI setting to change the pre-order button text on the Showcase theme. You’ll need to edit your theme code by going to Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code. Look for the product form section file (typically main-product.liquid or product-template.liquid in Showcase) and find the submit button code. You can modify the button text from “Pre-Order” to “Schedule Consultation” directly in that file. Here’s Shopify’s guide on theme editing for reference.

The main limitation is that this requires manual theme code editing, and any theme updates might overwrite your changes if you don’t save a backup.

Alternately, an app like K1 PreOrder can automate that (I’m the founder of K1 PreOrder), allowing you to customize button text globally or per rule without touching theme code, with automatic button replacement and real-time preview. If this is relevant, here’s the K1 PreOrder listing.

Happy to help with the theme customization if needed.

Best regards,
