Shopify Options Styling (Overview)

What this feature does

Shopify Options Styling lets you customize the visual appearance of Shopify option selectors (colors, images, buttons, dropdowns) so they look more engaging and consistent with your storefront design.

⚠️ Disclaimer (Important) This feature only affects the visual presentation of options (styling, layout, and display). It does not create or modify Shopify variants.

Before applying styling, you must set up your product variants correctly in Shopify Admin. Shopify Options Styling simply enhances how those existing variants are displayed on the storefront.

(Adapted from the official disclaimer in the Shopify Options Styling documentation.)

Supported styling types (visual only)

You can visually style option selections in multiple formats, such as:

• Dropdowns with images

These styles help customers understand choices faster without changing product logic.

Where styles are displayed

Collection page

Styled options can be shown directly on collection pages, allowing customers to preview and interact with options before opening the product page.

Product page

On the product page, options are displayed with enhanced visuals while still mapping to the variants you’ve already created in Shopify Admin.

When to use Shopify Options Styling
