  • Add product variants first, then modify the product-card.liquid file to create a “Choose Options” button that redirects to the product details page
  • Alternative approach: Replace “Choose Options” with “Add to Cart” by editing card-product.liquid in the snippets folder, replacing the choose_options translation key with conditional code that displays “Add to Cart” for available products or “Sold Out” otherwise

Hi @joecoleman566
How are you?

First have to add the variants in products, then have to edit the product-card.liquid file to make the button choose option and redirect it to product details page.
If not familiar with code then please hire a shopify developer.

Please let me know if need any help. Contact info is in signature.

Follow these simple steps to change the “Choose option” button to “Add to cart”

  • Go to your Shopify admin > Go to the Online store
  • Go to themes > Click on action > Click on edit code
  • Look for the file “card-product.liquid” in the snippets folder
  • Search the button code by using the ctrl+f function
  • Look for the keyword “choose_options”
  • Once you find it you need to replace the existing code with the below-provided code.
  • Remove this code:

{{ ‘products.product.choose_options’ | t }}

  • Replace the above code with the below code:

{% if card_product.available %}

{{ ‘products.product.add_to_cart’ | t }}

{% else %}

{{ ‘products.product.sold_out’ | t }}

{% endif %}
