- Custom product options are like sprinkles on an ice cream cone 🍦. It’s the little details that make the big difference in your e-commerce game. From dropdown menus to selection tags, give your customers the options they crave.
- When it comes to options, it’s like a choose your own adventure book 📚 – the possibilities are endless. But remember, simplicity is key. Too many options can leave your customers feeling like a deer in headlights! So, choose wisely and design accordingly.
Introduction
In this video, we’ll be discussing the options for custom product pages. Ryan introduces Aon from the Wix Wiz YouTube channel to help with the coding aspect of the design.
Handling Product Options 🛠️
When it comes to product options, things can get a little tricky. We might not know how many options a product would have or how to display them creatively. To address this, we use drop-downs and repeaters to dynamically populate the options based on the product’s attributes.
Data Structure Overview
- The product object consists of a "Product options" property, which is an object containing different attributes and choices for the product.
- Each option (e.g., size, scent) has choices, each with metadata like descriptions and media URLs.
Populating Options using Code 💻
To populate the product options in a repeater, we first need to transform the object format into an array format. This involves extracting the keys of the object and mapping them into an array of objects for each option.
| Options |
|----------|
| size |
| scent |
Setting up Dropdowns and Selection Tags 🏷️
The repeater is filled with dropdowns for each product option, dynamically displaying the available choices for each option. Additionally, the selection tags are set up to facilitate the display of size options separately.
| Dropdown Options |
|-------------------|
| Size |
| Scent |
| |
| Selection Tags |
|-------------------|
| Scent |
| |
Wrapping Up Options 🎀
The functionality for populating options and setting up selection tags is a crucial step in creating custom product pages. However, there’s still more to explore, such as adding products to the cart and handling advanced functionalities like changing media and pricing based on variants.
