How can I change the color of a button on my website?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Main issue: Change the “See collection” button style to transparent with a black border.

Key guidance:

  • The solution depends on the Shopify theme. Some themes allow this via Theme Editor (Shopify’s visual customization tool); if not, it requires editing theme code.
  • A Dawn theme–based guide (Shopify’s default theme) was shared as a reference that has solved similar requests in other threads.

Requests/resources:

  • A responder asked for the store URL (and password if the store is unpublished) to provide precise help.
  • Recommendations included making a backup copy of the theme before changes and considering hiring help via the Shopify Experts marketplace.

Status/outcome:

  • No final resolution yet. Next steps depend on the store’s theme and whether the requester provides the store URL. Actionable options are to try Theme Editor settings, follow the Dawn guide for code changes, or seek expert assistance.

Hi @Mayla1 ,

Thank you for reaching that. That is a great question.

They way to go about this change will certainly depend on the theme you’re using. Some themes may have this feature in Theme Editor, however if that is not the case, then you will need to customize your theme code a bit. Again, what code to use and what templates to edit will depend on your theme.

That said, I can share a Dawn theme based guide that has been accepted as solution in different Community thread. You can have a look and give it a go if you feel like this is what you’re looking for.

Keep in mind before you customize a theme, it’s a good idea to make a backup copy so that you can discard your changes and start again if you need to. Also, you can post a job on the Shopify Experts Page and see what feedback and quotes you get.

Let me know!
