🛠️ Field settings

Placeholder text

Radio buttons do not use placeholder text. Instead, use a clear field label or description to explain what users should choose.

Label examples

• How would you like us to contact you?

• Select your account type

---

Default value (optional)

The default value lets you pre-select one option when the form loads.

Use a default value when:

• One option is the most common

• You want to guide users toward a recommended choice

Examples

• Default option: Email

• Default option: Standard support

⚠️ Tip: Avoid setting a default if the choice must be intentional.

---

✅ Required field (recommended)

When enabled, users must select one option before submitting the form.

Common use cases

• Inquiry type

• Contact preference

• Service level

Example

• Users must choose either Personal or Business

---

Other option (optional)

The Other option allows users to select “Other” and enter a custom value.

When enabled:

• An Other radio option appears

• Selecting it reveals a text input

Example

• Options: Email, Phone, Live chat, Other

• User selects Other

• User enters: WhatsApp

Tip: Always add a clear placeholder like Please specify.

📐 Layout options

You can control how radio buttons appear in your form:

• Number of options per line Display options in 1 or multiple columns

• Column width Adjust how wide the field is (33%, 50%, or 100%)

Use these settings to match your store’s layout.

🌟Best practices

• Use Radio buttons instead of Dropdown for short lists

• Keep option labels short and clear

• Order options logically (most common first)

• Avoid using Radio buttons for long lists

---

🔀 Use Radio buttons with conditional logic

Radio buttons work perfectly with conditional display.

Example

If customers select option Phone, the phone field shows up.
