What app can add badges to product variants for new or sale items?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Goal: Add badges to specific product variants (color swatches) to mark “new” or “on sale,” similar to the Sephora product page example.

Recommendations:

  • Flair Product Badges & Banners: Suggested for variant-level badges on product pages.
  • Product Badges by MyShopKit: Offers a 7-day free trial, a free plan, and a $9.99/month premium plan.

Clarification of need:

  • The store will feature up to 36 color swatches per product. Badges must appear directly on variant swatches (not just product images) to indicate which colors are new or discounted.

Key terms:

  • Product variants: Different versions of a product (e.g., color, size).
  • Variant swatches: Visual selectors (often color tiles/circles) used to choose a specific variant.

Status:

  • No final app chosen yet. Suggestions provided, with one asking why swatch-based badges are preferred; the need was clarified due to many color options.
  • Discussion remains open; next step is evaluating the suggested apps for swatch-level badge support and fit.

Hey Everyone,

I am looking for an application that will add a badge to product variants on the product page to show certain variants are new or on sale. Any suggestions?

Similar to this: https://www.sephora.com/product/cream-lip-stain-liquid-lipstick-P281411?skuId=1296060&icid2=products%20grid:p281411:product

Thanks!

Hi @DyrliDigital

You can consider using a third-party app to add labels for your product/product variants.
You can try this app
Flair Product Badges & Banners
The app has features of product variant badges.

If you feel like my answer is helpful, please mark it as a SOLUTION. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey, @DyrliDigital

I’d also recommend taking a look at Product Badges by MyShopKit for a viable product badges option. They offer a 7-day free trial and then a free plan, including a $9.99/month premium plan.

Is there a particular reason you want the sale badge to show on the variant swatch portion compared to say the product image?

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.
