Featured product section

The featured product section is a section that gives you the ability to showcase a single product from your shop.

Section settings

Heading: Set a title for this section. This is optional.

Subheading: Set a subtitle for this section. This is also optional.

Product: Set the product you want featured.

Pre-select first available variant: Only applies when the selected product has variants. When enabled, the default Shopify behaviour of pre-selecting the first available variant is maintained. When disabled, no variant will be pre-selected, and variant-depended elements will be hidden (e.g. SKU, price, Add to cart button, etc) until the customer selects a variant. This setting may also affect other behaviour as required, for example, the “Hide single variant” setting of the Variant picker block will be ignored since the user needs to select a variant.

Hide other variants’ media after selecting a variant: If your product contains variants and particular images for each variant, enabling this option will only show the images for the selected variant.

Show gallery navigation arrows on mobile: Enable this option to display navigation arrows for products with multiple images in the main gallery, visible only on mobile devices.

Show thumbnail navigation arrows: Display navigation arrows for the thumbnail carousel on products with a lot of thumbnails (applies on desktop only).

Image zoom: Choose between “Lightbox“, “Zoom on hover“, “Lightbox and Zoom on hover“, and “None“. Lightbox (the default option) will enlarge the product’s main image in its own frame. Zoom on hover will zoom the image in a dedicate preview box next to it while the customer is hovering over the product’s main image.”Lightbox and zoom on hover” enables the behavior of both at the same time. Finally, “None” will disable zooming on the product’s images in any way. Note that this setting applies only on desktop (with the exception of the “None” option that disables it everywhere). In mobile the image enlarging functionality is always the Lightbox.

Images ratio: This option allows you to select the ratio of the images that will appear on the on the product’s media gallery. “Adapt to image” (default) means that the ratio will be the inherent ratio of the first image, however this may be problematic if you have extremely tall images. Portrait, Square, and Landscape will force the images to be displayed as portrait, square, or landscape ratios respectively.

Images disclaimer: Optionally provide a short text that will be displayed underneath the product images as a disclaimer.

Colors

Color scheme: Select one of the predefined color schemes as defined in Theme settings > Colors. For more information regarding the color schemes please refer to our article about creating your own color scheme.

Section spacing

The section spacing settings give you the option to adjust the top & bottom section spacing values. Please note: If you select a color scheme with a background color, these settings will affect the spacing between the top or bottom of the section and the content of the section.

SEO

Heading tag: Select the appropriate heading level (H1, H2, or H3) based on how you want the section title to appear.

Visibility

Show section on desktop: Enable or disable the section’s visibility on desktop devices.

Show section on mobile: Enable or disable the section’s visibility on mobile devices.

Hide section if…: Enable this option when the section’s fields are bound to dynamic sources (i.e. metafields or metaobjects). The section will be hidden on the front-end if the most important field(s) are empty, i.e. when there is no meaningful output.

Section blocks

For maximum customization you can adjust this section’s layout by configuring its blocks. Note that you can reorder blocks as you see fit.

Title: The title block by default will also display the vendor, stock status, SKU, and barcode. You can also set it to display the product’s rating (learn how to set up product ratings here), and you can choose to hide the rating if there are no reviews. Finally, you can choose to show custom badges if you’ve set them up.

Text: The text section by default is populated dynamically by the Product subtitle field, optionally displayed under the title. This field is a “dynamic source” field and can be configured to display other values (read more on dynamic sources here). The text section also comes with a Color Scheme setting that can be used to make product text sections stand out. You can add up to four combinations of icon and text in the same text block.

Price: The price block displays the price (as well as discounts, group pricing, and other pricing info) and has no customization settings.

Variant picker: If the selected product contains variants, they will be shown on this block. You can choose from two different layouts for their display (buttons or dropdowns). You can also opt to hide the variant picker if only one variant exists across any combination of product options (size, color, etc). Finally, there are visibility settings (Show, Hide, and Show disabled) for out of stock variants, and invalid variants (non-existing combinations of product options).

Buy buttons: The buy buttons group displays a quantity input, the add to cart button and dynamic checkout buttons, like the buy it now button. You can turn off any one of them if you don’t need them. Via this block you can also enable the recipient form for gift cards where your customer can send a gift card to another person automatically after purchase (only applies on gift card products). More information about selling gift cards can be found on Shopify’s official guide.

Extra / social sharing: This block will display arbitrary text that you can adjust as well as social sharing icons, with the option to hide them (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn).

Request product information: This block is a customer engagement tool for the product that provides an easily accessible contact form. This allows customers to request more information about a specific product directly from the section, facilitating customer service and potentially increasing conversions.

Contact details: This block allows customers to easily get in touch with your support team or product experts directly from the product page. This block includes options for adding contact information, such as video chat links, live chat links, email, and phone numbers, making it simple for customers to reach out for product inquiries or assistance.

Details: This special block will display a custom heading title with an optional icon next to it, and product details such as the product’s SKU, vendor, barcode (with a custom barcode label), product type, and any metafields in its own box.

To show your metafields, add a new line with the desired title and metafield prefix and key, separated by a colon and space “: “. For variant-level metafields, also add “variant.” before the prefix. Examples:

Width: custom.width 
Profile: custom.profile 
Rim Size: custom.rim_size 
Specifications: variant.custom.specifications
Other product field: prefix.key
Other variant field: variant.prefix.key

When a product doesn’t have a value defined for the specific metafield, it will not be displayed at all. This allows you to add different metafields for different kinds of products, and only the most appropriate ones will be displayed. For example, tires have a wheel size value and batteries have a capacity value. Since tires don’t have a capacity value, the capacity metafield will not be displayed on them.

Product signup: This block allows your customers to sign up to your newsletter form. Anyone that subscribes to this section will be automatically added to your “accepted marketing” customer list, but you will also receive the URL of the product they signed up from, so you can take further action if needed. You can customize it by setting a heading, enabling a consent checkbox, and selecting a color scheme.

Image: This simple block allows you to display an image, optionally linked to a URL. You can further restrict the image’s width, and set its alignment when it’s smaller than its container’s width.

Product metadata: Allows you to display product metadata (vendor, SKU, and barcode) in a single line.

Stock bar: This block displays a stylized stock availability badge, along with your own additional text for when the product is in stock, out of stock, has low inventory, etc.

Info box: This block allows you to grab the attention of your customers by showing a customized message, along with the icons of the accepted payment methods (optional). You can further customize this block by setting an icon, and text and background colors.

Liquid: If you are a bit code savvy the liquid section allows you to add templating on your product using Shopify’s Liquid templating language. This block can only appear on the product information area (right-hand side), along with the title, price, etc.

Personalization text: This block allows you to collect additional personalized information for a product, such a inscription texts, custom sizes, etc. You can collect textual or numerical information.

Countdown timer: (since v6.0) This is a dynamic block that fosters urgency and boosts conversions. By showcasing a live countdown for a special event or offer’s end, it encourages customers to act quickly.

Range indicator: The range indicator block is perfect for offering a visual representation of numeric values within a given range. Showcase ratings, speed, temperature, and other numeric values in a visual way that your customers can grasp with a quick glance. Ideally used with dynamic sources.

Content drawer: This block adds a link or button that when clicked, it opens a side drawer displaying the text or page content you select. A very useful block for secondary content that shouldn’t clutter the main product area.
