Choice list

Choice lists should:

• Include a title that tells merchants what to do or explains the available options
• Label options clearly based on what the option will do
• Avoid mutually exclusive options when allowing multiple selection

List titles

List titles should:

• Help merchants understand how the items in the list are grouped together, or should explain what kind of choice merchants are making

• Be concise and scannable:
  • Use simple, clear language that can be read at a glance
  • Keep list titles to a single sentence
  • It the title introduces the list, it should end with a colon
  • Should be written in sentence case

• Not use colons

List choices

Every item in a choice list should:

• Start with a capital letter

• Not use commas or semicolons at the end of each line

• Be written in sentence case (the first word capitalized, the rest lowercase)

Helper text and descriptions

If your list contains helper text, only the description below the list item should contain punctuation.
