Option Appearance Management Guide
1. What is Appearance?
Appearance refers to how Options are displayed on your storefront, enabling customers to interact with and select product variations more easily. Various display types are supported, including:
- Button: Ideal for options like size or model selection.
- Swatch: Displays colors or images visually for easier choice.
- Dropdown: A compact list of options in a dropdown format.
Currently, the application supports 8 types of appearances and plans to introduce more in the future.
Key Point:
These appearance types not only enhance the visual aspect of your store but also improve the shopping experience for customers.
2. Common Challenges in Configuring Appearance
Setting up Appearance for Options during Product Group creation can often lead to several issues:
- Repeated Setup: When creating multiple Product Groups (e.g., 100 groups using the "Color" Option with the Appearance "Circle Swatch"), you must repeatedly configure the same Appearance for each group. This is time-consuming and redundant.
- Inefficient Updates: If many groups (e.g., 100 groups) currently use the Circle Swatch and you wish to switch them to Square Swatch, it requires manual updates for each group. This process is inefficient and prone to errors.
3. Managing Option Appearance
The Option Appearance Management feature is designed to address these challenges, making it easier to manage and update appearances efficiently.
Accessing the Appearance Management Page
To access this feature, navigate to Option Configs from the sidebar menu. This will open the Option Management interface.
The management interface includes:
- A list of Options used in your Product Groups.
- The number of Product Groups impacted by each Option.
- The current Appearance settings for both Product Page and Product Card.
Bulk Update Appearance for Options
When you modify the Appearance for an Option and save, the system prompts you to apply the changes to all associated Product Groups.
If you confirm, all groups using that Option will automatically update to the new Appearance, saving time and ensuring consistency.
Automatic Appearance Suggestions for New Groups
If you’ve configured Appearance for an Option, the system automatically applies the corresponding Appearance when you select that Option while creating a new Product Group.
