I want to customize my woocommerce store's pages, but every page builder and even wordpress customization won't let me customize the product pages and single product pages.

for example I want to change the button "ADD TO BASKET" to "add to cart" and to position it differently.
How can I do all that, page builder is not the solution then how can I design it my way without coding?

TY

You'd have to hire someone who knows his way around PHP/CSS and more importantly understand the various WooCommerce APIs and the plethora of functions and hooks associated with it.

It is not recommended to build a store based on a "Drag and Drop" plugin.

To answer the second part of your question, look at this page and make edits to your functions.php file -
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/change-add-to-cart-button-text/
 
I customized everything in my Woocommerce store, separate highly customized awesome "configurators" on each of my 40 product pages, PayPal express etc. which cost me more than 500$. But in the end it was worth it.
 
Where can I find this information about customizing anything on woocommerce except for hiring someone? assuming I'm on low budget
 
You need to have coding experience if want want custom changes. Otherwise you have to learn PHP and CSS or hire someone
 
How can I know someone I'm hiring won't put codes like in nulled themes or something like that?
You're saying that the only way to customize Woocommerce is to know PHP no other way without coding? Then how come so many people use it easily?
 
It depends what you want customising, if it's just style changes then learn a bit of css. It's not that difficult, hint: inspect element is very useful for this.

If you want a completely customised page then you'll probably need a great deal more coding.

There are many pre built scripts you can just drop into your functions.php file that will change certain things but be careful with changes you make if you have no idea what you're doing. You can break the site very easily!!

Take a backup of any file you edit because you can always restore the backup if you screw up.
 
Wordpress is much more work than I thought lol
What if I get a premium theme that has a store that looks like what I want, if I don't know coding and it looks nice IMO, can I leave it that way or still there are stuff to do?

You can't know that for sure. I think it depends on a theme u are using.
Woocommerce customization is mainly depends on using hooks and styling with CSS, reading documentation, and basic coding skills.

When hiring a plumber, how do you know they won't stuff a dead cat into your sewage system? Hire someone reputable, do your research. You're asking for stuff that isn't as simple as you think.

Hire a reputable person. People don't put codes in their projects. You need to learn to delegate work and spend some money if you wish to succeed.

You're talking about customizing a platform that is purely 100% code - without knowing how to code. See the paradox here?

So many people do it easily because they outsource the coding part.
 
I have had the same issue as you a couple of times - where I wanted to customize woocommerce. I done a few basic things myself, but then I had to hire a dev to do the rest; I dont think its that easy to learn how to edit woo commerce without a) pretty decent knowledge of PHP and CSS and b) knowledge of how woo is built and basically where to find the right place to edit various things.

I think maybe you should be thinking about some compromise - if you need to have the store set up in a very specific way then you really need to hire a developer - there are plenty of people here that can do this sort of work for a very reasonable rate. Or if you have zero budget then maybe you should think about making a few compromises and like you said - find a decent theme that is built for woocommerce, one that looks near enough what you need, then just accept there may be a few things that are not perfect.
