Radio

A single-select option that shows every value as a vertical list of radio buttons. Unlike a dropdown, all the choices are visible at once — good when the customer should be able to weigh the options side by side without opening a menu.

When to use it

• A short list (roughly 2–6 values) where seeing everything at once helps.
• The choice is important enough to keep in front of the customer.
• You want a plain, familiar control with no styling surprises.

For long lists, use a Dropdown. For tappable, more prominent choices, use Buttons.

Add a radio option

1. In your option set, click Add option.
2. Set Type to Radio buttons.
3. Enter an Option name (“Monogram placement”, “Paper type”).
4. Under Option values, replace the example values, then type each new value into the empty Add another value row at the bottom — a fresh empty row appears as you type.
5. Done, then Save.

Picking one or several

Radio buttons always let the customer pick exactly one value — that’s what radio buttons mean. If you need a list where the customer can pick more than one, use Checkboxes.

Advanced settings

• Default — the first value is preselected by default. Pick a different one under Select a default value, or choose None so nothing is selected until the customer chooses.
• Validation → Required — require a choice before add-to-cart.
• Pricing — charge an add-on for a specific value. See Add-on prices.
• Visibility — show the option only after another choice is made. See Conditional logic.

What customers see

A vertical list of radio buttons with labels. Selecting one deselects the rest. The chosen value is added to the cart as a line-item property.
