Choice list

The choice list component presents multiple options for single or multiple selections. Use it when merchants need to choose from a defined set of options, such as filtering results or collecting preferences.

The component supports both single selection (radio button behavior) and multiple selection (checkbox behavior) modes. It offers multiple layout variants including list, inline, block, and grid formats to suit different space constraints and visual requirements.

Anchor to Best practicesBest practices

  • Choose appropriate selection modes: Use single selection for mutually exclusive options. Enable multiple when merchants can select more than one.
  • Write clear, concise choice labels: Keep labels short but descriptive enough that merchants understand each option without additional explanation.

Anchor to LimitationsLimitations

Choice list component types other than choice can't be used as options within the choice list.
