How can I add color swatches to product filters on the Enterprise theme?

Shopify Discussion

I’m trying to add color swatches to my filter options, right now all it is, is text. I built a metaobject and use a reference to it for the products that I add that metadata to. It’s not the easiest to explain, so I’ll add a video on how it’s done. Based off the video, this should work. I am using the Enterprise theme. Here’s a link to the store, where I want this to work is under “color filter”, https://www.treemagnets.com/collections/new-releases

Hi @FeelingLikeASir
this example is for Dawn theme. you theme doesn’t support such method.
theme customization needed

But surely other paid themes can utilize it. Why would Shopify build something that can only be used in a free theme.

The method will be similar no matter what your theme is but the code may need to be adjusted to work with your theme. You didn’t mention if you edited any code or tried anything. Have you found where the code is that you need to change?

I have not, but that’s a good point. It’s possible our developer adjusted some code for filters and I wasn’t aware. I’ll have to look into that.

You can do the same thing as in the video but it requires the extra step of enabling swatches in your theme and then manually writing the swatch colors in hex code.
