Collection page swatches are a great way to enhance the shopping experience for your customers by allowing them to quickly filter and select product options. Follow these steps to add collection page swatches to your Shopify store:
Step 1: Access Your Shopify Admin Panel Log in to your Shopify admin panel using your credentials.
Step 2: Navigate to the Theme Editor
- From your admin panel, go to “Online Store” and then select “Themes.”
- In the “Themes” section, locate and click on the “Customize” button for the theme you want to edit.
Step 3: Add Collection Page Swatches
- In the Theme Editor, look for the section that corresponds to your collection page. This might be labeled “Collection Pages,” “Product Pages,” or something similar, depending on your theme.
- Within the collection page section, find the settings or options related to product variations or attributes. This is where you’ll be able to add swatches.
- Depending on your theme, you might have different options for adding swatches. Some themes have built-in support for swatches, while others might require a third-party app or custom coding.
Step 4: Enable Swatches
- If your theme has built-in swatch support:
- Look for options to enable swatches or color/size variants.
- Enable the swatch feature and configure the options according to your needs. This might involve selecting colors, uploading images, or setting attribute values.
- Save your changes.
- If your theme doesn’t have built-in swatch support:
- You might need to use a third-party app to add swatches. Go to the Shopify App Store and search for swatch or color variant apps.
- Choose a suitable app based on user reviews and ratings. Install and configure the app following the provided instructions.
- Once the app is set up, you should be able to customize swatch options for your collection page.
-
{%- capture color_name -%}{{ section.id }}-{{ product.id }}-{% increment color_name %}{%- endcapture -%} {%- for option in product.options_with_values -%} {%- assign downcased_option = option.name | downcase -%} {%- if downcased_option == 'color' or downcased_option == 'colour' or downcased_option == 'couleur' -%} {%- assign variant_option = 'option' | append: forloop.index -%} {%- for value in option.values -%} {%- assign downcased_value = value | downcase -%} {%- capture color_id -%}{{ section.id }}-{{ product.id }}-{% increment color_index %}{%- endcapture -%} {%- for variant in product.variants -%} {%- if variant[variant_option] == value -%} {%- assign variant_for_value = variant -%} {%- break -%} {%- endif -%} {%- endfor -%} <a href="{{ variant_for_value.url }}"> <img style="background-color: {{ value | replace: ' ', '' | downcase }};" src="{{ value | handleize | append: '.png' | asset_url }}" width="16" height="16" class="option_circles" /> </a> {%- endfor -%} {%- endif -%} {%- endfor -%} <style> .option_circles { height: 25px; width: 25px; background-color: #bbb; border-radius: 50%; display: inline-block; border:1px solid #ccc; } </style>
Step 5: Customize Swatch Appearance Regardless of whether you’re using the built-in feature or a third-party app, you’ll likely have options to customize how the swatches appear on your collection page. This can include setting the shape, size, and layout of the swatches.
Step 6: Preview and Publish After making the necessary changes and customizations, use the preview feature to see how the swatches look on your collection page. Ensure that they’re displaying correctly and that customers can interact with them as intended. Once you’re satisfied with the results, click the “Publish” button to make the changes live on your store.
Step 7: Test and Optimize After implementing collection page swatches, it’s a good idea to test them thoroughly to ensure they work well on different devices and browsers. Make any necessary adjustments based on user feedback and your observations.
