When using WooCommerce and the Divi theme together, one of the common design adjustments users seek is relocating the “Add to Cart” button underneath the product image. This simple change can greatly enhance the visual flow of your product pages, leading to a more user-friendly experience.
In this blog, we’ll explore how to make this modification using Divi’s powerful page builder and WooCommerce’s flexibility. We’ll cover step-by-step instructions, some CSS customization if needed, and tips to ensure that your design remains responsive and aligned with WooCommerce best practices.
Why Customize the “Add to Cart” Button Placement?
WooCommerce is a versatile e-commerce platform, but its default product page layouts might not always fit every design vision. With Divi, you have more control over the page’s design. Here’s why moving the “Add to Cart” button under the image can be beneficial:
- Improved Visual Flow: Placing the “Add to Cart” button beneath the product image allows visitors to first view the product and then take action, creating a logical flow.
- Enhanced Usability: Users can quickly find the “Add to Cart” button after evaluating the product image, without needing to search for it.
- Customization Flexibility: With Divi, this layout tweak can be made to align with your brand’s specific design language, making your store stand out.

Prerequisites for Customizing WooCommerce with Divi
Before diving into the customization, ensure that:
- You have Divi installed and activated on your WordPress site.
- You have WooCommerce installed and activated, along with a few products listed.
- Basic familiarity with Divi’s Visual Builder and some CSS knowledge (though we’ll keep the code minimal).
Step-by-Step Guide to Moving “Add to Cart” Under the Image
Step 1: Open the Divi Builder on Your Product Page
To start, navigate to the WooCommerce product page you want to customize. Follow these steps:
- From your WordPress dashboard, go to Products and select the product you want to edit.
- Once on the product edit screen, click on Use Divi Builder to enable Divi’s page builder.
- You’ll now be in Divi’s Visual Builder, where you can fully customize the layout of the product page.
Step 2: Customize the Product Page Layout
By default, the WooCommerce product page in Divi might have the “Add to Cart” button located to the right of the product image, along with other product details. To adjust this:
- Find the Product Image Section: In the Divi Builder, look for the section or module that contains the product image.
- Locate the Product Details Module: You’ll also find a module containing the product name, price, description, and the “Add to Cart” button.
Step 3: Re-arrange the “Add to Cart” Button
Divi allows you to rearrange sections and modules easily. Follow these steps:
- Drag and Drop: Click on the module that contains the product details and find the “Add to Cart” button within it. You can drag this module directly beneath the product image. If the “Add to Cart” button is part of the product details module, you may need to drag the entire module below the image.
- Save Changes: After adjusting the layout, click Save in the Divi builder.
Step 4: Fine-Tune the Layout
Once the button is placed underneath the product image, you may want to fine-tune the design:
- Spacing: Ensure that the spacing between the product image and the “Add to Cart” button is visually pleasing. You can adjust the margin and padding within the Divi Builder by selecting the product image module or the “Add to Cart” button module.
- Button Style: Divi also allows you to customize the button’s appearance (color, size, font, etc.) to better match your overall theme. To do this, click on the Design tab of the “Add to Cart” module and make the necessary adjustments.
Adding Custom CSS (Optional)
If you find that dragging and dropping modules in Divi doesn’t give you the exact layout you want, adding a bit of CSS can help.
Step 1: Inspect the Page Structure
Before adding any CSS, inspect the product page to understand the HTML structure. Right-click on the product page in your browser and choose Inspect. Locate the classes used for the product image and the “Add to Cart” button.
Step 2: Write Custom CSS
Here’s an example of custom CSS to move the “Add to Cart” button under the image:
css
Copy code
.woocommerce div.product .images {
display: block;
}
.woocommerce div.product form.cart {
clear: both;
margin-top: 20px;
}
This CSS will ensure that the product image is displayed as a block and the “Add to Cart” button appears below the image with some spacing (adjust the margin-top value as needed).
Step 3: Add CSS to Divi
To apply this CSS, follow these steps:
- Go to the Divi Theme Options.
- Scroll to the Custom CSS section.
- Paste the CSS code and click Save Changes.
Alternatively, you can add this CSS to the child theme’s style.css file for a more permanent solution.
Testing for Responsiveness
After making changes, it’s essential to test how your product page looks on various devices:
- Use Divi’s Built-in Responsive Preview: Within the Divi Builder, you can switch between desktop, tablet, and mobile views to ensure that the “Add to Cart” button placement works across all devices.
- Adjust for Mobile: If needed, use Divi’s responsive design controls to adjust the spacing or button size for smaller screens.

Final Checks and Considerations
Before finalizing your design, make sure to:
- Test Product Variations: If you’re using WooCommerce product variations (like size or color options), ensure that the “Add to Cart” button works seamlessly with these variations after the layout adjustment.
- Cross-Browser Compatibility: Test your product pages across different browsers to ensure that the design remains consistent.
- SEO Considerations: Even though this is a design adjustment, ensure that any changes don’t negatively impact your product page’s SEO by ensuring that the button is still visible and usable without excessive scrolling.
Final Thought on How to Add WooCommerce “Add to Cart” Button

Whether you prefer to use Divi’s drag-and-drop functionality or add custom CSS, this simple change can enhance both the aesthetics and usability of your product pages. Always remember to test for responsiveness and cross-browser compatibility to maintain a seamless experience for all users.
