Shopify PDP Customization

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A developer is building a Shopify app using Remix and needs to add custom UI elements to product detail pages (PDP). Specifically, they want to display all weekdays with three radio button options for each day.

Challenge:

  • The developer wants to implement this functionality directly through their app
  • They want to avoid modifying theme files
  • Documentation they found only suggests theme customization approaches

Proposed Solution:
Another user recommends using Shopify app blocks, which allow apps to create blocks and sections that merchants can add through the theme customizer without directly editing theme code. This approach maintains the app-based implementation the developer is seeking.

Hi Team,

I am developing an app on Shopify using Remix. I am facing a problem where I need to display all the weekdays on the PDP page, and for each weekday, there should be three radio buttons as options. I tried going through the documentation, and everyone suggests theme customization. However, I need to implement it from my app without customizing any theme files. I am waiting for your advice.

Hi @Jubins

You can use Shopify app blocks for this.

Using your app, you can create app blocks and sections that can be added from theme customizer in the same way as theme built-in blocks

Thanks!
