How to Resize Sale Badges in Shopify Like a Pro

Okay, gather 'round my fellow Shopify adventurers! Picture this: We’re back in the digital bazaar, tweaking, customizing, and sometimes just trying to make a piece of text play nice with our stylish online emporium. I remember one rainy afternoon—my laptop perched precariously next to an oversized mug of coffee—I was neck-deep in CSS and code. Little did I know, what started as a quest to change the “SALE” badge size on my shop’s main page would become a saga. With a tale to tell and lessons to impart, we've crafted this step-by-step guide to help you become the hero of your Shopify story.

Let's dive right into the meat and potatoes of this mystery: how do we change the size of the “Sale” badge on a Shopify main page and make it sing on the product page too?

Unearthing the Badge: Conquering the Desktop Size

First things first, let’s tackle the desktop size. Imagine opening a treasure chest of tools and possibilities—it's much like finding a map to hidden CSS realms where we can command our badge dimensions. Here's the breakdown:

1. Access the Theme Editor: Log in to your Shopify admin. It’s like walking into your very own control room. From there, navigate to Online Store and then Themes. You’ll see your active theme listed here—click on Actions > Edit code. You might want to take a deep breath; we’re stepping into the code realm.

2. Locate the CSS: In the snuggly folders on the left, open the Assets section. Inside, like a wise old scroll, you'll find your CSS files—usually something like theme.scss.liquid or stylesheet.scss.liquid.

3. Summon the Badge Code: Now, this might feel like an archeological dig. You'll need to look for the code that styles the "Sale" badge. Try searching using handy browser find functions (CTRL + F or CMD + F) for keywords like "sale" or "badge".

4. Change the Font Size: Found it? Awesome! Look for the .sale-badge class or its kin. You should see something like:

   .sale-badge {
     font-size: 12px; /* ancient font size */
   }
   

   Change 12px to whatever size tickles your fancy. Make it bold, make it noticeable. Simply update the numbers and watch your badge transform before your eyes!

5. Preview Your Changes: Click Save, then rush over to the online store preview. Revel in your tweaks and adjust if needed.

The Badge’s Great Odyssey: Moving to the Product Page

Now that our badge breathes freely on the main page, let’s take the grand adventure to the product page. They're like estranged cousins that need a little help being in sync.

1. Localize the Product Templates: Slide back into the kitten-like coziness of the Edit Code section. Select Templates or sometimes Sections, and look for folder names like product.liquid or product-template.liquid.

2. Plant the Badge on High: Use your newly acquired badge-wrangling prowess to place your .sale-badge styling here too. You might need to duplicate the badge code from the main page or add css directly into the product liquid file so it aligns seamlessly.

3. Adjust as Needed: Bring over any styling adjustments you want to keep consistent with your brand's vibe, perhaps a touch of color or a dash of shadow.

4. Final Flourish: As always, save those valiant changes, preview them, and celebrate your conquest by flaunting the synchronized glory of your sale badge wherever your products are.
