Get started with Chirpy basics in this comprehensive overview.
Product Page Customize
In this tutorial, we’ll walk through modifying a Shopify theme to:
- Replace the standard variant picker with icon-based buttons.
- Display additional product info using metafields.
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and Liquid.
- A Shopify store with access to the theme editor.
- Familiarity with Shopify metafields.
🔧 Task 1: Icon-Based Variant Picker
Step 1: Understand Default Variant Picker
Most Shopify themes use a <select> dropdown to allow customers to choose product variants.
We will replace it with clickable buttons that represent each variant option (e.g., color icons).
Step 2: Add Icons or Swatches
You can use SVGs or font icons (like Font Awesome) to represent each variant.
Example: For color variants, assign an icon or colored circle.
