# Badges

The **Badges** block displays visual indicators (badges) on product listings to highlight special statuses such as items on sale or products with custom tags. These badges can boost conversion by drawing attention to key attributes or promotions.

## Notes

* Sale badges are automatically shown for discounted products.
* Custom product badges can be added by applying specific tags to products in Shopify: `_preorder`: shows a predefined ‘Preorder’ badge. ; `_badge_with_custom_text`: shows a customizable badge (based on theme behavior).
* Adjust the bottom padding to control spacing relative to other blocks on the page.
