How to Change the Price Color of Your Store Without Using a Specific Theme

Do you want to customize the price color of your online store but don't want to be limited to using a specific theme? In this short tutorial, you will learn how to change the price color of your store using CSS. This method can be applied to various elements, giving you the freedom to customize the appearance of your store in any way you desire.

1. Introduction

When it comes to building an online store, the appearance plays a crucial role in attracting customers and creating a visually appealing experience. While many themes offer customization options, they might not provide the flexibility you need. By delving into the CSS code, you can easily modify the price color of your store without being bound by a specific theme.

2. Prerequisites

Before getting started, you'll need a few essentials:

• A browser with the inspection functionality (such as Chrome)
• Basic knowledge of CSS
• A text editor for making changes to theme files

3. Understanding CSS

CSS, short for Cascading Style Sheets, is a stylesheet language used to define the presentation and formatting of a document written in HTML. It determines how elements should be displayed on the screen, including their colors, fonts, sizes, and layouts. Having a basic understanding of CSS will be helpful when customizing your store's price color.

4. Getting Started

To begin with, navigate to the page on your store that you want to modify. It could be the front page or any other relevant page where the price elements are displayed. Once you've landed on the desired page, follow the steps below to change your price color.

5. Changing the Price Color

Step 1: Inspecting the Element

Right-click on the price element you want to modify and select "Inspect" from the context menu. This will open the browser's developer tools and highlight the corresponding HTML code.

Step 2: Finding the CSS Section

In the developer tools panel, locate the CSS section associated with the selected element. This section contains the CSS code that defines the appearance of the element, including its color.

Step 3: Adding or Modifying the Color

To change the color, simply double-click on the value specified for the "color" property. If the property is not present, you can add it by double-clicking on a blank line within the CSS section. Enter the desired color using either a named color or a hexadecimal color code.

For example, if you want to change the price color to green, you can use the following code:

color: green;

Once you've made the necessary changes, you will immediately see the updated price color on your store.

6. Changing the Sale Price Color

If you also wish to modify the sale price color, follow the same process as described above. Inspect the sale price element, locate the corresponding CSS section, and add or modify the color property accordingly.

7. Changing the Compare Price Color

Likewise, if you want to change the color of the compare price (original price), repeat the steps for inspecting the element, finding the CSS section, and modifying the color property. This will allow you to customize the appearance of both the current price and compare price elements.

8. Applying Changes to Different Theme Files

Depending on your theme, you may need to make changes to specific files in order to customize the price color site-wide. Typically, you will need to access the theme's files through the theme editor. Here's how:

Step 1: Locating the Theme File

Go to your Shopify admin dashboard, navigate to "Online Store," and select "Themes." From there, click on "Actions" and choose "Edit Code." This will take you to the theme editor.

Step 2: Making the Changes

Identify the relevant theme file where the color of the price elements is defined. It could be a file with a name like theme.css.liquid or timber.scss.liquid. Open the file and scroll to the bottom to easily add or modify the CSS code.

Step 3: Saving the File

Once you've made the necessary changes, click on "Save" to apply the modifications. Your store will now reflect the updated price color settings across all relevant pages.

9. Conclusion
