Are you looking to add a little bit of personalization to your Shopify store? Maybe you want to change the color of your “Add to Cart” button to better match your brand. Or maybe you want to style the text on your website using HTML tags like <p>, <b> and <u>.
Whatever your reasons, changing the color of your Add to Cart button or styling text on your Shopify website is easy to do. In this article, we’ll show you how to make both of these changes in just a few minutes.
Changing the Color of Your Add to Cart Button
If you want to change the color of your Add to Cart button, there are a few different ways you can do it. The first is by editing your theme’s CSS file.
To do this, go to Online Store > Themes > Edit code. In the Assets folder, look for and open the theme.scss.liquid file.
Once you have that file open, you’ll want to find the section that controls the Add to Cart button. It will look something like this:
#add-to-cart {
background: #333333;
}
The hex code (#333333) is what determines the color of the button. You can change that code to any color you want, and the button will change to that color.
For example, if you wanted a pink button, you would change #333333 to #ff0066. Once you've made your changes, be sure to click Save.
If you're not comfortable editing your theme's CSS file, or if you're using a pre-made theme that doesn't give you access to that file, don't worry - there's another way!
The second way you can change the color of your Add to Cart button is by using a Shopify app like Add Customization Options by BOLD Apps. This app lets you make changes to your Add to Cart button without having to edit any code. It's a great option if you're not comfortable working with code or if you're using a pre-made theme.
To use this app, install it from the Shopify App Store and then go to its settings page (you can get there by going to Apps > Add Customization Options). On the settings page, scroll down until you see the "Add To Cart Button" section.
From here, you can change the color of your button using a color picker or by entering a hex code. You can also choose whether or not you want your button text to be white or black - if it's not white, it will automatically adjust based on the color of your button. Once you've made all of your changes, be sure to click Save at the bottom of the page.
Styling Text on Your Shopify Website Using HTML Tags
In addition to changing the color of your Add to Cart button, you can also style text on your website using HTML tags like <p>, <b> and <u>. These tags let you control things like font size, font weight, and text alignment. To use them, simply edit the code for any page or blog post on your website and add the HTML tags around whatever text you want to style:
<p>This is a paragraph of text. </p>
<b>This text is bold.</b>
<u>This text is underlined.</u>
<p style="text-align: center;">This paragraph is centered.</p>
<p style="font-size: 18px;">This paragraph has a font size of 18px.</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">This paragraph has a bold font weight.</p>
You can also combine these tags - for example, if you wanted centered and bold text, you would use this code:
<p style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">This paragraph is centered and bold.</p>
There are lots of other HTML tags out there that let you control things like lists (<ul> and <ol>) and images (<img>), but those are beyond the scope of this article.
