Hiding size and color variants only on product grid or re-formatting variant layout

Store Design
, , ,

Topic summary

Goal: control how size and color variants (via Shopify metafields/swatches) appear on collection/product grid vs only on the individual product page in the Sense theme.

Context: Metafields showed correctly on product detail pages but not on the grid. Desired outcomes: either hide variant options on grid or display swatches within product cards. Screenshots illustrated the difference between grid and detail layouts.

Suggestions: Check theme settings for card/collection pages to hide variants. If not supported, use custom code or contact the theme’s author/developer.

Latest update: The variant display on the grid was caused by an app (“Add to cart button – Carty”). Disabling this app removed the unwanted variant options from the grid.

Outcome: Resolved by turning off the app; no theme customization required. The thread concluded with an offer for further assistance.

Key terms: Metafields = custom data fields in Shopify used to show attributes like color/size. Swatches = clickable color/size selectors on product cards.

I have metafields to show different colours and sizes, and they appear as I want on the product item - but not on product grid and collection list, ect - only on individual product items.

How can I either
a) just hide the size and colour options
or
b) have swatches/metafields in the product grid cards itself

As you can see here is the product when in the product grid or in collection list, and here

is when you click on the item. I would prefer this layout in the product grid but there is no option to change the style.

Hi,

Do you want to show size and color variants on product detail page only and hide on other place as collection page and product grid, right?

First, you can find to setting theme at the card or collection page, there can support to hide variant on card product.

If the theme not support, you need to customize code to archive your expected.

If your theme was bought on Shopify theme, you can asking help from theme’s auth.

if they not support you can asking from developer or i can.

Hi @Cherrylane ,

I checked and it is displayed by app ‘Add to cart button ‑ Carty’, so you just need to disable the app, it will work fine
