Customizing the widget

Change the look and feel of the JS subscription widget via CSS rules. This article outlines methods for adding CSS to the widget, the selectable classes and an example for changing the look of the widget.

Considerations

We recommend being mindful of the following best practices when using CSS to customize the widget:

Before targeting the widget with CSS to customize it, we recommend using the built-in customization options within the Recharge merchant portal. For more details on the built-in customization options, see Modifying the subscription widget.
Only target classes listed in this guide with CSS rules. Do not use DOM selectors to style elements (ie. div, label). Recharge may change which selectors are used, so this is the recommended method.
We do not recommend using JavaScript to change the look or behavior of the widget. You can do this, but Recharge cannot assist with troubleshooting any issues that arise with your theme.
Although specificity is generally better to override styles, you may use !important statements when needed.

DOM structure

The following is an example of where the JS widget is located within the DOM tree.

<div class="rc-container">
  <div class="rc-widget">
    <div class="rc-template">
      <div class="rc-template__legacy-radio"> // this can be any of the different templates
        {...specific template...}
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <!-- <div>subscription details docs TBD</div> -->
</div>

Example CSS

The following is an example using Sass to target and style the widget. To convert to CSS, combine the nested selectors (ie .rc-container .rc-widget .rc-radio__input).


:root {
  --rc-midnight: #191d48;
  --rc-cobalt: #3901f1;
  --rc-paper: #fffbf6;
  --rc-jade: #3c716a;
  --rc-rose: #ffa9bd;
  --rc-magenta: #fd2974;
  --rc-aqua: #99e1d9;
  --rc-iris: #8263e3;
}

.rc-container {
  .rc-widget {
    border: 1px solid var(--rc-jade);
    border-radius: 20px;
    background-color: var(--rc-paper);
    color: var(--rc-midnight);
    overflow: hidden;

    .rc-radio__input {
      border: 0px;
      clip: rect(0px, 0px, 0px, 0px);
      height: 1px;
      width: 1px;
      margin: -1px;
      padding: 0px;
      overflow: hidden;
      white-space: nowrap;
      position: absolute;
    }

    .rc-option {
      color: var(--rc-midnight);
      padding: 8px;
    }

    .rc-option--active {
      color: var(--rc-rose);
      background-color: var(--rc-midnight);
    }

    .rc-selling-plans {
      padding-left: 8px;
    }

    .rc-selling-plans__dropdown {
      color: var(--rc-midnight);
      background-color: var(--rc-rose);
      border-color: var(--rc-jade);
    }
  }
}
