Product weights not showing on Dawn Theme

Store Design

Topic summary

A user is trying to display product weights on their Shopify store using the Dawn theme but cannot locate where to implement the necessary code edits.

Solution Provided:

  • Another user shares step-by-step instructions to add weight display functionality
  • Code snippet must be inserted into main-product.liquid file in the Sections folder
  • Specific placement: before the last </div> tag within the {%- when 'title' -%} block
  • The code displays the weight of the currently selected or first available product variant

Ongoing Issues:

  • The original poster successfully implemented the fix for individual product pages
  • They now want to extend this functionality to collection pages showing all products
  • Multiple users report that weights don’t update dynamically when selecting different product variants—requiring a page refresh to see updated weights
  • No solution has been provided yet for either the collection page display or the variant update issue

I’m trying to figure out why my product weights are not showing on the product page

There was a similar thread on this before, but I do not understand where the edits go.

Hi @kirkcanada ,

The code goes to main-product.liquid. Please follow the instructions below.

  1. From your Admin Page, click Online Store > Themes >Actions > Edit code
  2. In the Section folder, open the main-product.liquid
  3. Find the code {%- when ‘title’ -%}, before the last , add the code below.

NOTE: Refer to image for placement

{% assign current_variant = product.selected_or_first_available_variant %}
            {% if product.selected_or_first_available_variant.weight != 0 %}
             **Weight:**  {{ product.selected_or_first_available_variant.weight | weight_with_unit }}
              {% endif %}

Wow that’s an awesome solution! Thank you so much for posting that.

Now…

Is there any way to get the weights to show up in the “collections” view?

Hi there, this works, however when you select a variant it does not update the weight unless you refresh the page.

Do you know a way to fix this please?

Many thanks
