Variant Picker Design

Topic summary

Issue: After importing products from Squarespace, existing products show variant options as pill-style buttons, but two newly added Shopify products display color variants as circular swatches. The merchant wants all products to use pill-style variant pickers.

Examples provided: One product link shows the desired pill style; another shows circular swatches that need changing. These links are central to understanding the visual difference.

Latest guidance: A reply points to a Shopify Help Center article on theme settings for options with swatches, suggesting configuration changes to control variant picker styles.

Status: No confirmation of a fix. Action item is to follow the help article to adjust theme settings/swatch options so new products match the pill-style variant picker. The discussion remains open/ongoing.

Hi all,

I recently imported all my products from my Squarespace store which allowed my variants to have the pill button style which is what I’d like to keep, however I have just added 2 new products via Shopify product page and the colours are showing up as little circles.
