What exactly does the Dynamic Content Switch field do? How is it used?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us.

The Dynamic Content Switch field in SP Page Builder is designed to toggle between predefined content values—typically used for showing/hiding content blocks (for example: Yes/No, On/Off, or two preset text variations). It does not perform calculations or dynamically change prices based on user selection.

So in your example (2 People = price X, 3 People = price Y), the Switch field would not automatically adjust pricing like that. It simply controls which content is displayed, not variable logic or conditional pricing.

For use cases like dynamic pricing based on selection (number of people, options, etc.), you would need:

A booking(SP Booking) or eCommerce system(EasyStore) that supports conditional pricing, or

Custom JavaScript logic to update prices dynamically.

Thanks for your question 🙂

The Dynamic Content Switch field is not meant for calculations or price changes. It simply allows you to toggle between two predefined content outputs (for example: Yes/No, Show/Hide, Version A/Version B).

Simple Example:

Imagine you have a dynamic item with a Switch field called:

“Show Special Badge” (Yes / No)

In your Dynamic Content template, you could use it like this:

{if field:special_badge == "1"}
  <div class="badge">Special Offer</div>
{/if}

If the switch is enabled (Yes), the badge appears.
If it’s disabled (No), nothing is shown.

Another Example

Switch field: “Layout Style”

Option A → Shows Layout 1

Option B → Shows Layout 2

You would conditionally render different content blocks depending on the switch value.

So in short:

✅ Used for conditional display

❌ Not for price logic or value calculations

❌ Not for dynamic user interaction like “2 people = X price”

I think, you can check the docuemntation again, it will help you more.
