Position badges on product media
Learn how to position badges on product media with a safe Juniper & Trail example, shopper impact, options, and recovery checks. Choose one of nine anchor positions, then adjust offsets and size. Test collection cards and product media because themes crop images differently.
Before you begin
- Enable storefront rendering and identify the product-card layouts to test
- Choose text or image artwork
- Prepare Normal, Low stock, and Sold out messaging when stages are used
Keep the campaign in Draft while you verify the configuration. Use a private storefront window where the guide changes shopper-facing behavior.
Step-by-step setup
Set the campaign label and add or reorder label slots.
Choose the text badge shape, colors, opacity, size, and padding.
Check badge placement and appearance on the product-card preview.
- Choose one of the nine anchors: Top/Middle/Bottom × Left/Center/Right.
- Set badge size and inspect its footprint against the product image.
- Fine-tune horizontal and vertical offsets; image badges expose X and Y controls.
- Page through products with different image crops.
- Verify collection cards and product media on desktop/mobile before saving.

Juniper & Trail example
Juniper & Trail applies position badges on product media to the Ridgeway Waxed Field Jacket. The team checks a bright lifestyle image, a dark pack shot, collection cards, and the product page. The documentation fixture uses realistic products, inventory states, variants, collections, and protected exclusions so the preview exercises the same decisions as a merchant catalog.
What shoppers will see
Confirm the campaign announcement and Shop call to action at the top of the store.
Check the badge and adjusted pricing on an eligible product card.
Compare another product card to verify consistent campaign treatment.
Confirm the campaign announcement and Shop call to action fit the mobile header.
Check that the badge remains readable on the mobile product card.
Scroll through additional products to verify the collection layout stays usable.
The badge overlays eligible product media. Its final size and crop depend on the theme's product-card and media containers. Check the relevant result from product through cart where applicable. For shopper-facing work, compare desktop and mobile and verify both an eligible and an ineligible item.
Common mistakes and troubleshooting
- Acting on the wrong shop. Confirm the Shopify store and campaign before following Position badges on product media.
- Trusting a stale preview. Refresh after catalog, schedule, discount, theme, locale, or market changes.
- Repeating a background command. Read status and History first; retry only when Badgy presents a recoverable failure.
- Checking only one viewport. Verify desktop and mobile in a private storefront window.
If the status reports revoked authorization, reconnect Shopify before retrying. If the result still differs from the preview, preserve the campaign ID and approximate time, then open support from this identified shop. Never send customer data, access tokens, or full catalog exports in feedback.
