How does variant-based conditional logic work and what should I be aware of?

Modified on Tue, 31 Mar at 6:51 AM

We can now create conditions to show/hide options based on the Shopify selected variant.



Example:
If a customer selects the “Premium” variant of a product, you can automatically display an additional option like “Extended Warranty” while keeping it hidden for other variants.



Important notes:

  • Deleted variants: If a variant used in a condition is deleted, the conditional rule will remain but won’t function. You’ll need to manually update or delete the condition.

  • Product-specific rules: Conditions are tied to unique variant IDs, so they apply only to that specific product—not to other products with similar variant names.

  • Theme compatibility: Conditions depend on the theme’s variant selector. Custom selectors may require additional setup for the logic to work correctly.

Example:
If “Gift Wrap” option is shown only for the Red / Large variant on Product A, it will:

  • Work only for that variant on Product A
  • Not apply to another product with the same variant name
  • Stop working if the variant is deleted, unless updated manually
