Product ribbons

Ribbons are colored horizontal product labels that are displayed on product listings thumbnails and product details pages in your store. You can put any text you like on them (e.g. “Bestseller”, “20% Off”, “New”, “Christmas deal” or “Free Shipping”).

You can add corner ribbon banners for any products right on the product page in your store admin or in bulk. While adding them, you can choose label text and color. It is also possible to provide product ribbons in different languages if your catalog is multilingual.

Adding product ribbons

You can add product ribbons for individual products or in bulk. After you do that, they will be displayed over the main product image in the product grid in your store and on the product details page, under the price field. Your customers will also see labels on the images of your related products (if these products have ribbons).

To add a ribbon to your product:

In case you were using the “Compare to” price feature, you already had some “On sale” tags in your catalog. If you set up ribbons for the same products, they will replace them. But if later you decide to remove ribbons, the “On sale” tags will be displayed again. The same goes for "Pre-order" tags if you're using pre-orders.

If you use stock tracking and don't take pre-orders, then, after the product becomes out of stock, the "Sold Out" tag will appear on the product page instead of your ribbon. The ribbon will continue being displayed only in the product grid.

Customizing ribbon text

The Ribbon text field can contain only 30 symbols – which is a perfect reason to make your labels as catchy as possible. You can add any text to attract your customer's attention like “Free shipping”, “Sale”, “Summer special”, etc. If you are using additional storefront languages, you can create ribbon texts in various languages for your product.

To add/change the text of your product ribbon:

If you have a multilingual catalog, you can also leave translation fields for your ribbons empty. This way, the texts on the labels will be shown in your store’s default language.

Customizing ribbon color

You can choose the color of your ribbons from several predefined options, or you can set up your own color – e. g. a color that fits into the concept of your store.

To customize label color:

Deleting product ribbons

You can delete ribbons for individual products or all at once. For example, the promotion in your store is over, and the labels can no longer be useful.

To delete a ribbon for your product:

In case you were using the “Compare to” price feature and later added ribbons for your products, for the time being they replaced the “On sale” tags. But once you remove a ribbon, the “On sale” tag will be displayed again. The same goes for "Pre-order" tags if you're using pre-orders.
