For example, when a customer has received the item they purchased from a merchant, a badge that says “Completed” shows next to the order number. --- ## Purpose Put the merchant first by identifying the problem they face and the component that helps them solve it. ### Problem Merchants are pressed for time. They need indicators that let them identify important status changes in Shopify. ### Solution Badges are designed as short, color-coded indicators that help merchants identify critical information quickly. --- ## Best practices Great badges benefit merchants by: - Using established color patterns so that merchants can quickly identify their status or importance level - Being clearly labeled with short, scannable text - Being positioned to clearly identify the object they’re informing or labelling (e.g. an order) --- ## Content guidelines ### Badge label Badge labels should: - Use a single word to describe the status of an object. - Only use two words if you need to describe a complex state. For example, “Partially refunded” and “Partially fulfilled”. - Always describe the status in the past tense. For example, refunded not refund. The available badges for financial status are: - Authorized - Pending - Paid - Unpaid - Pending - Voided - Partially paid - Partially refunded - Refunded The available badges for fulfillment status are: - Fulfilled - Complete - Partial - Unfulfilled - Restocked #### Don’t Don’t use alternatives to existing badge options. Only create a new badge option if there aren’t any existing options to communicate the status you need. ## Examples ### Default badge Use to give a non-critical status update on a piece of information or action. ```tsx Fulfilled ``` ### Informational badge Use to call out an object or action as having an important attribute. For example, marking an option as “Recommended” or marking a theme as “Published”. ```jsx Published ``` ### Success badge Use to indicate a successful, completed, or desirable state when it’s important to provide positive reinforcement to the merchant. For example, when a merchant successfully disputes a chargeback, a success badge shows that says “Funds recovered”. ```jsx Funds recovered ``` ### Attention badge Use when something requires a merchant’s attention but the issue isn’t critical. For example, this badge would show next to an order that needs to be reviewed by the merchant. ```jsx Unfulfilled ``` ### Warning badge Use for the most critical and time sensitive issues that require a merchant’s attention. Keep in mind that seeing this badge can feel stressful for merchants so it should be used when absolutely necessary. ```jsx SSL unavailable ``` ### Incomplete badge Use to indicate when a given task has not yet been completed. For example, when a merchant hasn’t fulfilled an order. ```jsx Unfulfilled ``` ### Partially complete badge Use to indicate when a given task has been partially completed. For example, when a merchant has partially fulfilled an order. ```jsx Partially fulfilled ``` ### Complete badge Use to indicate when a given task has been completed. For example, when a merchant has fulfilled an order. ```jsx Fulfilled ``` --- ## Related components * To represent an interactive list of categories provided by merchants, [use tags](/components/forms/tag)
