In Kalles version 2.x, the Swatch, Label, Submenu option is available, allowing customers to add custom variant colors for product and submenu labels. This option, however, is limited to a maximum of 200 custom color variants. And many customers want to add more than 200 custom colors, but in the past, they had to pay a fee to do so. As a result, we updated the theme in Kalles 3.x to allow customers to customize it themselves. You can do so by following the steps outlined below.
1. Install the Child Theme and Enable Colors CSS option
2. Configure Submenu Labels
2.1. Configure Submenu labels in Navigation
- Step 1: From Shopify Admin > Online Store > Navigation.
- Step 2: You can create a new Menu or Edit an existing Menu. If you are creating a new Menu, click on Add Menu > Add menu item > Enter name with [bagde_submenu label]. If you are editing an existing Menu, click on the Menu that you want > Edit > Add [bagde_submenu label]. For example, Demo2[badge_Hot], Demo3[badge_Coming soon].
- Step 3: Click Save button.
