Hello, I was wondering if it was at all possible to add color options/swatches to products without having color variants. I am currently using 2 variants for my products and I can’t add a 3rd for color as I am already maxed out for the 100 limit. Only some of my products will have a couple color options. I would rather not list them separate. I just need an option for the customer to be able to select a color, but it doesn’t need to be linked to the other variants. I hope that makes sense.
Thank you!
Hi there!
If you don’t need to separately track inventory for each color (which is the main benefit of variants), then you could go a route of just adding custom line item properties to products that are added to the cart. This can be accomplished by adding basic form elements (in your case, likely a select field) to the product form. To extend that into having selectable color swatches, you would need to add a custom metafield with color options (image uploads), and then tie that into the line item properties selector using Javascript. It’s not a simple edit, so not really something where I can post the exact instructions here, but hopefully my comment points you in the right direction!
