How to stop product variant from being preselected? (PINNACLE THEME)

Shopify Plus

Hi, im running into an issue when it comes to my products that have variants. I’ve had some custom changes done so that when a customer comes to a product with multiple variants, it has the variant drop down say “Please select a variant”. But, the problem now is that the customer can still click on add to cart and have the the first variant option be added to the cart without it ever being selected.

Im using the Pinnacle theme and am having issues locating where I may be able to override this logic.

In my product-add-to-cart.liquid file I see
“”

I tried to add some changes like replacing it with:

but it just creates a new variant drop down, giving me two variant drop down options.

Any tips or help would be appreciated.

Essentially, i’d like for it to not register the first available option to be pre-selected when adding to cart. Id like for a user to be able to select a variation first before even being able to add to cart.

Hello @PeppyPatchouli ,

Understand your requirements but without customization it’s not possible to do it.

You need to go with a developer to achieve it.

I wanted to see if people had gone through the same issue and had a simple resolution before I add my own customization onto the pinnacle theme. I’d prefer to seek out opinions and alternative resolutions rather than be told to mark it as “SOLVED” after promoting your own ad for services.
