# Font Picker

✨[Demo store](https://optis-product-options-variant.myshopify.com/products/font-picker-custom-backpack-copy?variant=51026044256534)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Plan:** **Font picker** is available on the **Advanced** plan and above. On the Free plan you can still try it on one live product with a Premium option set. See [Plans and feature availability](/product-options/getting-started/plans-and-features.md).
{% endhint %}

### Overview

Font Picker allows customers to **choose a font style for their personalized text** directly on the product page.

When Font Picker is used together with a **Text Input option**, the text entered by the customer will **update instantly when a different font is selected**. This creates a **live preview effect**, helping customers clearly visualize how their personalization will look before adding the product to cart ✨

### 🔧 How to Set Up Font Picker

**Step 1: Add a New Option**

* Open **1. Add options**, click **Add option**, tick **Font picker** under **Choice list** on the **New options** tab, then click **Add options**.

**Step 2: After adding the Font Picker option, configure its settings as follows:**

**Label on product:** Enter a clear label for the Font Picker that will be displayed on the product page (e.g.: "Choose font"; "Font style"; "Select font";...). Use **Label on cart** if the cart and order should show a different name.

**Font picker settings:** Choose the fonts you want to make available to customers:

* **Font selection > All fonts** lets customers choose from all available Google Fonts.
* **Font selection > Selected fonts only** lets you pick the fonts yourself in **Font values** (at least one font must be selected).
* Tick **Enable search bar** to let customers search a long list of fonts.

**Note:**\
Currently, the app does not support uploading custom fonts directly. However, we do offer a custom solution - simply send us the font link, and our team will help you set it up.
{% endhint %}

**Display mode:** Choose how the font options are displayed on the product page: **Dropdown**, **Button (horizontal)** or **Button (vertical)**.

**Step 3 (Optional): Connect Font Picker with a Text Input**

If you want customers to see their text update in the selected font while typing, you can connect the Font Picker with a **Text Input** option.

Before doing this, make sure you already have a Text Input option created. You can follow the guide [**How to create a Text Input**](/product-options/20-option-types/text-input.md) if needed.

To link the two options:

* In **Font preview in text fields,** click on the dropdown **Select text fields**
* You will see a list of available Text Input options
* Select the Text Input you want to connect with this Font Picker

<figure><img src="https://1821185975-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FRFiuDpHWm2HwzxPH4lfM%2Fuploads%2FKnKYdUmHVL7fxUoHGi8H%2F3.png?alt=media&amp;token=17889d05-613d-45a6-8915-fe0f402da0c1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Once connected, the text entered by customers will automatically update when they change the font selection.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:**\
Text fields that are disabled in the list are already being used by another Font Picker. Each Text Input can only be linked to **one** Font Picker at a time.
{% endhint %}

**Step 4: Advanced Settings (If Needed)**

{% hint style="success" %}
**Visibility:** Enable visibility (conditional logic) if you want the Font picker to show/hide only when a customer selects a specific option from another field. [How to set up Conditional logic?](/product-options/advanced-setup/other-popular-features/how-to-set-up-conditional-logics.md)
