## Code

```php
add_filter( 'wc_add_to_cart_message_html', function ( $message, $products ) {
    $link_to = 'cart'; // 'cart' or 'checkout'.

    $count = 0;
    $names = array();

    foreach ( (array) $products as $product_id => $qty ) {
        $count  += (int) $qty;
        $names[] = get_the_title( $product_id );
    }

    $url   = 'checkout' === $link_to ? wc_get_checkout_url() : wc_get_cart_url();
    $label = 'checkout' === $link_to ? 'Checkout now' : 'View cart';

    return sprintf(
        '<a href="%1$s" tabindex="1" class="button wc-forward">%2$s</a> %3$s',
        esc_url( $url ),
        esc_html( $label ),
        esc_html( sprintf( 'Great choice! %s is now in your cart.', implode( ', ', $names ) ) )
    );
}, 10, 2 );
```

## Notes

Set $link_to to 'checkout' to point the button at checkout instead of the cart.
