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.

For example, each product sibling for the product "Lemon Marble Strappy Crop" belongs to a collection with the handle of siblings-strappy-crop:

Collection handle

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

Next, click on the Edit website SEO link:

Select and copy the entire handle at the end of the URL handle:

Verify you have the correct handle from the collection that is used for this current set of products.

Use this collection handle from the Search engine listing preview -> URL handle as the value in your Siblings collection metafield:

Update each of the products in your Siblings Collection with:

  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.
