How to Create Custom Option Selectors in Webflow Using Shopyflow

Introduction

When designing an eCommerce store, offering customers an intuitive way to select product variants is essential. Shopyflow Custom Option Selector Component provides a powerful way to create dynamic selectors such as color swatches, clickable images, and selectable pills.

This guide walks you through integrating and customizing the component within Webflow, ensuring an engaging and interactive shopping experience.

What is Shopyflow’s Custom Option Selector Component?

The Custom Option Selector Component enables seamless variant selection by leveraging two key attributes:

1. SF Change Option – Defines the option group (e.g., color, size, etc.). It is set on the wrapper element that contains the clickable options.
2. SF Option Value Attribute – Specifies the variant value (e.g., black, white, yellow) and is assigned to each option.

By implementing these attributes, you can create a fully interactive and dynamic variant selection system in Webflow.

Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing Custom Selectors in Webflow

Step 1: Copying the Component from Shopyflow’s Template Library

To get started, head to the Shopyflow Template Library and copy the Custom Option Selector Component as a pre-built Webflow component. Join the Shopyflow Community – Connect with other Webflow users and get expert support.

In this example, we’re working with a product called Bike 32, which has a color option group consisting of three variants: black, white, and yellow. The template library automatically generates a copyable component with the necessary attributes.

Step 2: Adding the Component to Webflow

1. Open Webflow and paste the copied component.
2. Confirm that the SF Change Option attribute is set to color.
3. Ensure that each SF Option Value matches the Shopify product options (black, white, yellow).
4. Publish your Webflow site and preview the selectors.

At this stage, the selectors should function properly, allowing users to switch between variant options.

Step 3: Styling the Custom Option Selectors

By default, the component works but lacks visual feedback for selected options. To fix this, we use the SF Active Combo Class:

1. Open Webflow’s Style Panel.
2. Locate the SF Change Option wrapper and its child elements.
3. Add a combo class called SF Active to visually indicate the selected option.
4. Modify the styling by:
   • Changing the background color for selected options.
   • Adjusting text color for better contrast.
   • Adding borders or shadows for emphasis.
5. Remove the SF Active class manually, as Webflow automatically applies it to the selected element.

Step 4: Adding Transitions for Smooth Interactions

Enhance user experience by applying subtle transitions:

1. Select the base class (not the SF Active class) in Webflow.
2. Apply a transition effect (e.g., fade, slide, color change).
3. Ensure smooth animations when switching between active and inactive states.

This step ensures a professional and polished appearance for the variant selection.

Step 5: Publishing and Testing

Once styling and transitions are applied:

1. Click Publish in Webflow.
2. Refresh your live site.
3. Test the selector by clicking different options to confirm functionality.

You should now have a fully functional custom option selector, improving the shopping experience for your customers.
