Changing Product Price Color on Your Shopify Store: A Simple Guide

Gather 'round, folks, because boy, do I have a tale for you. A long time ago, in a galaxy not very far away, I embarked on a quest—a quest to change the color of a product price on my Shopify store. It all began when I realized that the default color was as dull as a Monday morning (and we all know how those feel). I wanted something vibrant, something that danced on the page like an over-caffeinated squirrel. But alas! The internet guides were just not cutting it for me.

So, let’s walk this journey together—step by step—and uncover the secret to adding a pop of color to those prices.

The Case of the Missing Color: Getting Started

Before all the technical mumbo jumbo, let's gather our tools. Picture us as explorers packing our gear. First, we need to access our Shopify admin panel. It’s like unlocking a door to another universe of customization (cue the sci-fi music).

  1. Log in to Shopify Admin: This is our command center. Navigate to your Shopify admin dashboard, which is like the mother ship of your shop.

  2. Access Your Theme: Click on ‘Online Store’ in the left sidebar, then ‘Themes.’ This will lead you to a page where you can view all your themes like a proud parent—look at them all, ready to be dressed up!

  3. Customize or Edit Code: Choose the theme you’re currently using (it’s probably the one with the green ‘Current’ label, though I’ve definitely tried editing the wrong one before). Click ‘Actions’ and then ‘Edit Code’—here’s where the magic starts.

We’re entering code territory. Even if you’re more of the Hobbit type and less of a tech wizard like Gandalf, fear not. We’ll be tweaking with a few spells—er, I mean CSS lines—to make those prices pop with whatever color you fancy.

Cracking the Code: Changing the Price Color

Hark! The moment of truth is upon us. Let’s meddle with some code without turning it into a Renaissance painting gone wrong.

  1. Locate the Right File: In the code editor, look for the Assets folder. Within this digital vault, find a file named something like theme.scss.liquid or theme.css. This, my dear Watson, is where our cape-wearing code hovers.

  2. Write Some CSS: This is literally like adding sprinkles to your ice cream. Somewhere at the end of this file, paste the following potion of color:

    .price__sale .price-item--regular {
        color: #50c0d8 !important;
    }
    

    What, you ask, does this string of hieroglyphics do? The .price__sale is like a VIP pass to select only those sale prices, and the .price-item--regular specifies the target. color: #50c0d8 is our color code (hello, dreamy turquoise), and !important—ah, our little rebellion against the existing rules.

  3. Save Your Work: Go rogue occasionally—refresh your web page to witness the transformation. Isn’t it satisfying? It's like pulling a rabbit out of a hat—astonishing and fulfilling.

Tying Up Loose Ends: A Happy-Face Ending

If you don’t see the changes, fear not, dear adventurer! Sometimes caches—those sneaky creatures—need a good talking to, so clear your browser cache, refresh, and admire your handiwork.

Decorating a Shopify store isn’t much different from redecorating your cozy corner at home. It's personal, exciting, and an ongoing experiment. Brightening those numbers can really jazz up your webpage, much like adding a funky cushion to an otherwise plain sofa.

Through this journey of elbow grease and eureka moments, we’ve turned dots and dashes into a colorful reality. And that’s worth a tea toast, wouldn’t you say?

Feel free to revisit any step if needed, and remember—we’re all just making it up as we go, and that’s the joyous part of being in this creative realm. Until the next digital adventure, keep on tweaking and discovering! 🎨
