# Color dropdown menu The **Color Dropdown Menu** option type allows customers to select from a list of colors presented in a dropdown format. This option type is ideal for products that come in various colors, providing a visual representation along with a textual description for each color option. 👉You can check out our [Demo prouduct](https://avis-demo.avisplus.io/products/drop-down-menu-2) to see how it works *** ## **Basic Option Settings:**
#### **1. Option Name** The internal name used to identify this group of color dropdown options within your app. It helps you organize and manage your product options effectively. #### **2. Label on Product** This label appears next to the color dropdown menu on the product page, guiding customers on what the dropdown list represents (e.g., "Select Color" or "Choose Shade"). #### **3. Label on Cart** The label shown in the shopping cart, order details, invoices, packing slips, order confirmation emails, and other order-related documents. It clearly indicates the color selection made by the customer. #### **4. Option Values** Add the different color choices available in the dropdown menu. Each option value includes a color icon where you can select any color you want, accompanied by a text box where you can fill in the name or description of the color. You can add these values individually using "Add option value" or in bulk using the "Bulk add" feature. #### **5. Default Value** Set a default color option that will be pre-selected when the product page loads, guiding customers towards a recommended or popular choice. #### **6. Required Field** Make it mandatory for customers to select a color option from the dropdown menu before adding the product to their cart. This ensures that all necessary choices are made. #### **7. Hide "Label on Product"** Option to hide the label next to the color dropdown menu on the product page for a cleaner, more streamlined appearance. #### **8. Show "Quantity" for Option Value** Enable customers to specify the quantity for each color option in the dropdown menu. You can set minimum and maximum quantity limits for better control. #### **9. Add description for option value** You can add a descriptive text below the option value to provide additional information about the selection. #### **10. One Time Charge** This setting allows you to modify how additional charges are applied to a specific option value. Normally, the extra charge for an option is multiplied by the quantity of the product purchased (e.g., an additional charge of $10 would become $50 if the quantity is 5). However, by enabling the "One time charge" feature, the extra charge will only be added once, regardless of the product quantity. This is useful when you want to apply a flat fee for certain options without scaling the charge with the number of items purchased. #### **11. Min/Max Selection** You can define the minimum and maximum number of checkbox options that a customer can select. This ensures that customers make a choice within a specified range. #### **4. Option URL** Allows you to link specific color options in the dropdown menu to external URLs. Customers can select these options to be directed to another page or site for additional information. {% hint style="info" %} [How to set up Option URL for your options](https://options-docs-v2.avisplus.io/app-features/option-url-feature) {% endhint %} #### **12. Conditional Logic** Apply conditional logic to control when certain color dropdown menu options are displayed based on other selections made by the customer. This creates a more personalized and interactive shopping experience. {% hint style="info" %} [How to set up Conditional logic for your options](https://options-docs-v2.avisplus.io/app-features/conditional-logic-option-b-shows-if-option-a-is-selected) {% endhint %} *** ## **Advanced Option Settings:**
**1.** **Change product image on option selection** When the product image alt text aligns with the option value labels and the theme setup is correct, enabling this feature will update the product image according to the selected option. {% hint style="info" %} [How to change product image upon option selection](/storefront-display/change-product-image-upon-option-selection.md) {% endhint %} **2. Price display type** Decide whether to **show or hide** the additional price on the slider interface. **3. Enable search** This feature will allow customers to **search within the option values** in color or image dropdowns, making it easier and faster for them to find and select what they need. **4. Show price** Customize how pricing is displayed with these options: * *Only Option Value:* Show price next to the option value. * *Only Option Label:* Show price next to the label. * *Show All:* Display prices with both label and value for maximum transparency. **5. Placeholder Text** Add placeholder text that appears in the dropdown menu before a selection is made. This can prompt customers to make a choice (e.g., "Please select a color"). #### **6. Tooltip** Provide additional information about each color option by adding tooltips. When customers hover over a color, the tooltip will display, offering further details. #### **7. Help Text** Display help text below the dropdown menu to offer further explanation or instructions, helping customers make informed selections. #### **8. Class Name** For advanced customization, add custom CSS class names to the color dropdown menu. This allows you to style it according to your brand’s design standards, ensuring a cohesive look across your product page. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
