Dear community members,
I am very new to the discussion forum and have the some issue/requirement with the product variant of my Shopify store. I want the variant picker to start off blank and let the user choose the variant they want when they visit the product page. I found some similar thread in the community discussions, but the recent updates on Shopify made it obsolete and very different from solution provided. the current theme/version doesn’t allow me to remove the default variant option. Any help in this direction will be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Topic summary
Request to have the product variant picker (drop-down) load with no preselected option so shoppers must actively choose a variant on the product page. Prior community solutions appear outdated due to recent Shopify updates, and the current theme/version seems to force a default selection.
Context:
- Store is using the Dawn theme.
- Existing threads found by the poster are now obsolete after Shopify changes.
Need/ask:
- A Dawn-compatible method (settings tweak or code) to prevent default variant selection and start the picker blank.
Status:
- No solutions or code provided yet; awaiting community guidance.
Notes:
- No images or code snippets were included.
- Terminology: “variant picker” refers to the product options menu (e.g., size/color) shoppers select before adding to cart.
