Create a Switch

1. How Does the Switch Display?

The Switch option displays as a switcher that users can turn on or off with a single click. Visually, it resembles a small horizontal track with a circular handle that slides from one side to the other. It can be used individually or in groups when multiple choices are allowed.

Example of how it appears on a product page:

• A product with a Switch to select “Yes” on Add Gift Box and Greeting Card

2. How to Create a Switch

Step 1: Add a New Option

• Click Add Option > Switch to create a new option

Step 2: Add information to the Switch

• Enter an option name for the Switch (e.g., "Add Gift Box and Greeting Card")
  
• Add the option values (e.g., Yes/No).

• Tick on “This option is required” if you want customers must choose the option before checking out.

How it will look on the storefront:

• Tick on ‘Hide option name” if you don’t want to show the option name above the option values.

For example:

• Price Add-On > Assign to Variant – What is it & How to Use
  
• SKU – What is it & How to Use
  
• Quantity – What is it & How to Use

Step 3: Advanced Settings (If Needed)

• Conditional Logic: Enable conditional logic if you want the Switch to show/hide only when a customer selects a specific option from another field. How to set up Conditional logic?

• Help text: Add a short description to explain the purpose of the Switch option. It can be displayed as Tooltips or Content (Below/Beside the option title, Below the option).

Here is an example of the Help text as Tooltips looks like on the storefront:

• Default value: Pre-select the Switch options every time the customer goes to the site. It can save time for customers by providing common or expected choices.

Example: You want the option value “Yes” on Add Gift Box and Greeting Card to be selected automatically when customers enter the product page.

How it looks like in your storefront:

• Limit selectors: You can set Min/Max option value that customers can select.

Step 4: Save and Test

• Click Save to apply the settings.

• Visit the product page on your store to check if the Switch option works correctly.
