Adding a Flag (Badge) to a Product Photo

A flag is a small badge on the corner of a product photo, like New, Sale or Sold Out. It tells a shopper something at a glance, before they click. You pick the words and the colors, and the flag shows on the product photo in your store listings and on the product page.

Where to find it

Go to Dashboard → Products and open the product, or click Add product. The Flag box is near the top of the product form.

Adding a flag

1. In the Flag box, type the badge text in Text. Up to 30 characters. Start typing and pick a suggestion, or write your own: Sold Out, New, Bestseller, Pre-Order, Sale, Limited Edition, Gift Idea.
2. Click the Flag color swatch to choose the background color. The default is a warm orange.
3. Click the Text color swatch to choose the text color. We pick black or white for you based on the background, so the words are readable. Change it if you want your own color.
4. Click Save.

To remove a flag, clear the Text field and save. Blank text means no flag.

Where the flag shows

The flag sits on the corner of the product photo in your store, your category pages and anywhere else your products are listed. It also shows on the product page itself, on every product layout. Each product has its own flag, so you set it one product at a time.

Tips

• Keep it to one or two words. Short text fits the corner of a small photo.
• Use one color for one meaning across your shop, for example red for Sale and green for New. Shoppers learn it fast.
• A flag is only a label. A Sold Out flag does not stop a shopper from buying. To stop sales when stock runs out, use stock tracking too.
• Flags are a nice fit with promotions. Put a Sale flag on the products in the sale so shoppers can spot them.
