Examples
Use on settings pages to allow merchants to toggle a setting that has an activated or a deactivated state.
Setting toggle
Use to give merchants control over a feature or option that can be turned on or off.
Accessibility
The setting toggle component is implemented as an HTML <button>. The current label should convey what happens when the button is pressed.
To learn more about button accessibility, see the button component.
Best practices
Settings toggles should:
- Include different body content for the activated and deactivated states.
- Clearly indicate whether the setting is activated or deactivated and explain the implications of the state of the setting to merchants. (“Automatic messages are deactivated. Your customers won’t receive automatic shipping updates.”)
- Clearly state when a setting or feature is not available and why. Provide actionable steps for merchants to unlock the functionality.
Content guidelines
Toggle description
Toggle descriptions should:
- Clearly indicate whether the setting is activated or deactivated
- Explain the implications of the state of the setting to merchants (“Automatic messages are deactivated. Your customers won’t receive automatic shipping updates.”)
Primary button
The primary buttons for the setting toggle should always say either “Activate” or “Deactivate” depending on whether the setting can be turned on or off.
For example, if the setting toggle is on, the button should say “Deactivate” to allow merchants to turn it off. If the setting toggle is off, the button should say “Activate” to allow merchants to turn it on.
