# Set Up Fomo Badges for Option Values

## Overview

The **Option Value Badge** feature lets you highlight specific option values using small badges like “Best Seller”, “Hot”, “Limited” (or any message you prefer) so customers notice them instantly.

You can use badges to call attention to popular choices, special items, new arrivals, or anything you want customers to focus on. A badge can include an **icon**, **text**, or **a combination of both**, and appears right next to the option value on your product page.

This is a great way to guide customers visually without making your product page feel cluttered.

> Available on **Premium** & **Enterprise** plans.

**🎯 How this helps you get that first sale:**

First-time buyers often feel overwhelmed by too many choices. They don't know which charm stone is most popular, or which engraving style others usually pick. A small “Best Seller” or “Most Popular” badge does the decision-making for them — it’s like a gentle nudge saying: *"Other people love this one. You will too."*

This removes hesitation, builds trust through social proof, and helps customers click “Add to Cart” faster — exactly what you need for that first order.

## Supported Option Types

* Dropdown
* Checkbox
* Color swatch
* Image swatch
* Button
* Radio button
* Product list

## Common Use Cases

Here are some popular ways merchants use badges:

* Highlight “Best Seller”, “Hot”, “Trending”, “Most Picked”, or “Recommended” options
* Mark “Limited stock”, “Seasonal”, or “Last chance” items
* Promote upsell choices such as premium materials or gift wrapping
* Make new arrivals stand out with a “New” badge
* Communicate attributes like “Eco-friendly”, “Handmade”, or “Waterproof”

Badges help customers ***make quicker decisions*** and often lead to higher engagement and conversions.

#### Custom Badge Settings

When creating a custom badge, you can customize:

**Icon**

* Choose from our icon library and set the icon color.
* Or *upload your own icon* if you want branding consistency.

![](https://3599217945-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1LQaNLzwT65jc247sV0f%2Fuploads%2FAYb8XbrPucpvLCOa8dAr%2FScreenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2011.07.09.png?alt=media\&token=81ab5a5a-e025-43d4-bce6-d6372b92dcf2)

Simple icons usually work better because customers can understand them at a glance.

**Text**

* Add a short message (up to **15** characters).
* Choose a text color that stands out but still matches your theme.

![](https://3599217945-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1LQaNLzwT65jc247sV0f%2Fuploads%2F2HjmCP7JYRWB12Hc0vvc%2FScreenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2011.08.11.png?alt=media\&token=0b3343c5-53bf-4427-8463-3ddc695a9f70)

**Background color**

* Pick a background color that fits your design.
* If you don’t want a background, simply select white or increase transparency.

Once you’re satisfied, click **Add** and your badge will be saved.

## How To Edit a Badge

To edit a badge, click it again inside the option value, then select the **Edit** icon.

{% hint style="warning" %}

{% endhint %}

## How To Delete a Badge

(Click Edit > Delete)

Deleting a badge removes it from the icon library and from **every** option value in the same option set that uses it.

![](https://3599217945-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1LQaNLzwT65jc247sV0f%2Fuploads%2F4AJWsdwiBelLgtLOMM6Y%2FScreenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2011.13.32.png?alt=media\&token=5b20acd2-56d9-442c-b14c-fe4efdb8db61)

## How To Remove a Badge (without deleting it)

To remove a badge from **just 1** option value:

* Click the badge again
* Select the **Edit** icon
* Choose **No icon**

![](https://3599217945-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1LQaNLzwT65jc247sV0f%2Fuploads%2FkyRCQq1ogPgOKibW0JMZ%2FScreenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2011.17.33.png?alt=media\&token=c8348f29-f1e7-4dbb-bcb4-c0ba48b6e2db)

{% hint style="info" %}
Removing a badge is not the same as Deleting it.

* **Delete** = the badge is completely removed and disappears from all option values in the option set that use it.
* **Remove** = only this option value loses the badge.
  {% endhint %}

When badges have done their job, the next step is to let customers see exactly what they're choosing — which is exactly what we'll cover in the next guide: [***"Enable Image/Color Swatches on Options"***](https://easifyapps.com/docs/enable-image-color-swatches-on-options/).
