Product badges

Product listings

Product badges are labels that appear on listed products that are on Sale, Sold out, or you can add Custom badges.

Why are custom badges not showing?

Make sure the badge tags match the exact spelling of the product tags in your Shopify admin. Also, check that the Show custom badges option is enabled in Theme settings > Product listing.

Sale and sold out badges

The Sale badge shows when a Compare at price is added in the Shopify admin. The Sold out badges show when a product's inventory is zero.

To disable sale or sold-out badges, click Theme settings and open the Product listing tab.
