# Switch
### 1. How Does the Switch Display?
The Switch option displays as a switcher that users can turn on or off with a single click. Visually, it resembles a small horizontal track with a circular handle that slides from one side to the other. It can be used individually or in groups when multiple choices are allowed.
Example of how it appears on a product page:
* A product with a Switch to select “Yes” on Add Gift Box and Greeting Card
### 2. How to Create a Switch
**Step 1: Add a New Option**
* Click Add Option > Switch to create a new option
**Step 2: Add information to the Switch**
* Enter an option name for the Switch (e.g., "Add Gift Box and Greeting Card")
* Add the option values (e.g., Yes/No).
* Tick on “This option is required” if you want customers must choose the option before checking out.
* Tick on ‘Hide option name” if you don’t want to show the option name above the option values.

**Conditional Logic:** Enable conditional logic if you want the Switch to show/hide only when a customer selects a specific option from another field. [How to set up Conditional logic?](https://optis-options-helpdesk.crisp.help/en/article/how-to-set-up-conditional-logics-1dgigop/)
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="success" %}
**Help text:** Add a short description to explain the purpose of the Switch option. It can be displayed as Tooltips or Content (Below/Beside the option title, Below the option).
{% endhint %}
Here is an example of the Help text as Tooltips looks like on the storefront:
{% hint style="success" %}
**Default value:** Pre-select the Switch options every time the customer goes to the site. It can save time for customers by providing common or expected choices.
{% endhint %}
Example: You want the option value “Yes” on Add Gift Box and Greeting Card to be selected automatically when customers enter the product page.
How it looks like in your storefront:
{% hint style="info" %}
Limit selectors: You can set Min/Max option value that customers can select.
{% endhint %}
**Step 4: Save and Test**
* Click Save to apply the settings.
* Visit the product page on your store to check if the Switch option works correctly.
### 3. Real-World Applications of Switch
* Product Features: Activate additional services like gift wrapping, or Yes/No questions.
* Newsletter Signup: Opt in for email updates or promotional offers.
### 4. Key Features of Switch
* The Switch option allows users to select one or multiple options with a single click. When displaying many option values, they can be arranged in a single line or inline layout to save space and maintain a clean, organized design.
