Badges & Labels
Learn how badges and labels help you highlight products and drive sales in your Shopify store.
Badges and labels are visual elements on your product images that grab attention and communicate key information at a glance — a sale, low stock, a new arrival.
The Badges & Labels list shows each badge’s type, priority, position, status, creation date, and actions.
Two types of badges
Section titled “Two types of badges”Text badges
Section titled “Text badges”Text badges display customizable text on a shape background. Write the message, pick a shape, and style it with your brand colors. Good for dynamic info like discount percentages, inventory counts, or short promo messages.
Image badges
Section titled “Image badges”Image badges use a graphic instead of text. Browse a library of thousands of pre-designed badges, upload your own image, or generate one with AI. Good for eye-catching visuals like “New,” “Hot,” or seasonal promotions.
