Change prestige theme color swatch to radio buttons instead of dropdown list

Topic summary

A user wants to change color variant options on product pages from a dropdown list to radio buttons (color swatches), matching the display style already present on collection pages.

Solution provided:

  • Navigate to Shopify admin → Products → Default product → Product page
  • Under ‘Selector type’, choose “Block”
  • Optionally enable “Color swatch” setting

Issue encountered:
The user cannot find these settings in their theme customizer. The helper identified this is likely because they’re not using the latest version of the Prestige theme.

Current status:
The user is hesitant to update the theme due to concerns about breaking their site. The discussion remains open with no resolution on how to safely proceed with the theme update.

On my product pages my color variant options are displaying in a dropdown list. How can i change that to display as radio buttons the way it is displaying on my collection pages before clicking into a specific product?

Please help! Thanks!

  1. From the Shopify admin page, navigate to products > default product > Product page (on the left)

  1. Under ‘selector type’, choose “block”. You may also want to check “color swatch” as well.

Kind regards,
Diego

Are you using the latest Prestige’s theme version? If you’re not, that may be the issue.
