Craft theme > product Details page > change dropdown style menu

Shopify Plus

Topic summary

A user is trying to change the product variant selector on their Craft theme from a dropdown menu to a button/pill style on their product details page.

Issue:

  • The theme customizer shows options for “Pills” and “Square” styles, but selecting these settings doesn’t update the frontend display
  • The dropdown menu persists despite changing settings to Pills/Square and setting swatches to “none”

Troubleshooting attempted:

  • Changed variant picker style to “Pills > Square” in customizer
  • Set swatches option to “none”
  • Neither change affected the actual product page display

Current status:

  • A developer (Shadab_dev) has identified this as likely a code bug, since variant style switching is a standard theme feature
  • The developer needs collaborator access to investigate why the customizer settings aren’t taking effect
  • User has agreed to provide access via a collaboration request code

In the product details page, does the theme have other options for variations other than this drop-down menu style?

Ideally the theme have a button style option like this. How can we apply this?

I believe this is something you can change from the customizer itself.

In your product template, i believe you will find the options on the variant selector tab under product information. Not sure on the craft theme but I am sure this is how it is on almost every theme I have seen and worked on.

Hi i check the customizer.

This is the only options displayed.

I updated to Spills > Square but it does not update.

Selecting pills should work in this case. May be try putting swatches to none.

Let me know if this still doesn’t work. It could probably be a code bug since this is a very common feature now.

Hi,

Updated the swatches to ‘none’

But it does not update, it is still the same.

Then It is most probably a bug in the code. I will need Collab access to see why changing to pills does not take effect.
