Liquid Product Variants

Handling Product Variants

Liquid product variants manage Shopify product options and prices.

Understanding Liquid Product Variants

In Shopify, product variants are essential for managing different options and prices for a single product. Variants allow you to offer different sizes, colors, or materials without creating separate products for each option. Using Liquid, Shopify's templating language, you can access and manipulate these variants effectively within your online store.

Accessing Product Variants in Liquid

To access product variants in Liquid, you typically start with the product object. Each product object includes a variants attribute, which is an array of all available variants. You can iterate over this array to display variant-specific information.

Displaying Variant Options

Variants often have options such as size or color. You can display these options using the option1, option2, and option3 properties of the variant object.

Conditional Variant Rendering

Sometimes, you might want to display only certain variants based on specific conditions such as availability or price. You can use Liquid's conditional logic to achieve this.

Customizing Variant Presentation

You can customize how variants are displayed by modifying the HTML structure in your Liquid templates. This allows you to create a more engaging shopping experience for your customers.

Managing Variant Prices

Product variants often have different prices. With Liquid, you can easily display these price differences directly on the product page, providing clear information to your customers.
