# Switch
{% hint style="info" %}
**Plan:** **Switch** is available on the **Platinum** 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 %}
### 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**
* Open **1. Add options**, click **Add option**, tick **Switch** under **Choice list** on the **New options** tab, then click **Add options**.
**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 **Required field** if you want customers must choose the option before checking out.
* Tick on **Hide option label** if you don’t want to show the option name above the option values.

{% 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).
