Siblings product setup

Product admin

Feature introduced in Story 3.2.0

After creating the metafields in the previous steps, we complete the setup in the Product Admin. Add the associating information to each of the newly created metafields for each product.

Cutline

This value is to identify the swatch (color) and label name of the swatch. A nice advantage when using Siblings is the ability to create descriptive names for each swatch. You're not limited to basic color names:

Siblings collection

This metafield is used to map each product the correct collection they belong to. Each group of products should have already been added to a collection.

Collection handle

Be sure to obtain the correct collection handle. Start choosing the collection you created:

1. Cutline

2. Siblings collection

Tip: This step requires you add metafield values to each of the products.

Then return to each product and paste the second value to the second metafield for each.
