Fields

Color Option Style ... Swatch or Dropdown. When uploading inventory styles, there is a field option on the eCommerce form of Retail Inventory eCommerce tab named "Allow stock Sales only?".

When checked the system will only upload colors and sizes of the style that are in stock. No other colors or sizes may be purchased. If unchecked the system does not care and will upload all colors and all sizes shown in the size and color charts attached to the style.

Bigcommerce allows two display options to shoppers on the site for colors. One is drop down of the color names as listed in the color charts attached to the style. The second option Swatches. A swatch is a small square that has a representation of the color as set in the color chart via the color hex code. All colors have a computer color hex code which could represent the actual color and may be entered next to it's color name within the color chart. If you plan on using color hex codes then the swatch option is a good way to go. Otherwise choose drop down.

TIP: You can be creative when using dropdowns or swatches. Through a little custom programming in your theme's Bigcommerce Product Detail page, you can use a drop down and still see color swatches or on color swatches see the color name without hovering over the swatch.

Custom Drop Down. Normally drop down has just the color name, no color background.img

Custom Swatch. Normally swatch displays color name when shopper move the mouse pointer over the swatch. This custom feature puts the color name on top of the swatch: img

Automatically insert sizes, color, and extra data into description? ... If checked, the sizes, colors and store style is automatically added to the description when uploaded to BigCommerce. Some retailers use this to help with SEO.
