poocommerce-copy-guidelines

Sentence case is PooCommerce's standard for UI capitalization: capitalize only the first word and proper nouns (brand names, acronyms). Apply this rule to buttons, labels, menus, headings, and messages for consistency across all user-facing copy.

Use sentence case for all buttons and labels: capitalize the first word only, unless the text contains a proper noun or acronym. Examples: 'Save changes' (not 'Save Changes'), 'View PooCommerce settings' (capitalize the brand name).

Capitalize the first word of any UI element and all proper nouns, acronyms, and brand names. Avoid title case or all-caps except for acronyms. This maintains readability and professional consistency throughout the product.

Write button labels as clear, concise actions in sentence case: 'Add product', 'Update settings', 'Delete account'. Lead with the verb, keep phrasing direct, and ensure the action intent is immediately obvious to users.

No. PooCommerce enforces sentence case uniformly across all UI elements—buttons, labels, menus, messages, and documentation—to eliminate confusion and maintain a cohesive, professional user experience.

Correct: 'Save changes' (sentence case, concise, action-oriented). Incorrect: 'Save Changes' (title case), 'SAVE CHANGES' (all caps), 'save your changes' (unclear action). Guidelines ensure clarity, consistency, and brand professionalism.
