Customised free text box on select products

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner using the Impulse theme wants to add a customization text box exclusively to paperback book product pages (specifically those being signed), but the box currently appears on all product pages.

Suggested Solutions:

  • Alternate Templates: Create separate product templates and assign them to specific books individually or via bulk editor. This allows different layouts for different product types.

  • Liquid Conditional Logic: Use tag-based targeting (e.g., tag books with “signed”) and wrap the customization box code in Liquid conditions like {% if product.tags contains "signed" %} to display it only on tagged products.

Additional Context Needed:

  • Store URL, theme name, implementation details, and post URLs would help provide more specific guidance.

The discussion remains open with the original poster yet to respond or confirm which approach they’ll pursue.

Hi All - total newbie here.

I’m trying to add a product customisation box to my paperback books. So far I’ve managed to successfully add the box in but it’s showing on all the product pages. I want it to only show on certain product pages - such as those where I’m signing the books.
Could anyone assist, please? I’m using the Impulse theme.

Use alternate templates assign to just those products one by one or using the bulk editor.

Otherwise depending on how your doing this use liquid logic with some condition to target only those books such as a tag “signed”

{% if product.tags contain "signed %}

{% endif %}
