Color swatches

To show color options as swatches:

  1. In the Variant picker block, turn on Show color options as swatches.
  2. In your Shopify admin, open the product, edit the Color option in Variants and choose a swatch color or image for each value. Shopify’s category metafield for color makes this quick.

Options named Color or Colour show as swatches. Other options use the Picker type you choose. Product cards in collection grids also show swatches when the section’s Show color swatches setting is on.

Frequently bought together

The Frequently bought together block shows products the shopper can add to the cart together with the current product.

  • Curate per product: set the product metafield custom.fbt_products (type: list of products).
  • Or use Shopify recommendations: without that metafield, the block uses the complementary products you set up in the Shopify Search & Discovery app.
  • Show related products as fallback: when neither is set, the block shows related products instead.

Other settings: Heading, Maximum products, Show bundle discount, Discount percentage, Auto-select companion items, Show options when unchecked.

Show bundle discount only changes the price shown in the block. To actually charge the lower price, create a matching automatic discount in Discounts.

  • Complementary products come from the Shopify Search & Discovery app.
  • Related products come from Shopify’s automatic product recommendations.

Size guide

The size guide opens in a dialog from the Size guide block. Lintel looks for content in this order and uses the first one it finds:

  1. The product’s custom.size_guide_page metafield (a page reference). Best for tables: edit the page with Shopify’s visual editor.
  2. The product’s custom.size_guide metafield (HTML for tables, or rich text for prose).
  3. The block’s Size guide page and Modal content settings.
  4. The section’s Size guide page and Size guide content settings.

If none is set, the size guide button is hidden.

Product accordion content

Each tab of the Product accordion block (Materials, Dimensions, Care instructions, Shipping and returns) has a default text in the block settings. A product’s own metafield replaces the default:

Tab Product metafield
Materials product.materials
Dimensions product.dimensions
Care instructions product.care
Shipping and returns product.shipping

Leave a tab’s default text blank to hide it on products without the metafield. Other settings: Only one item open at a time, Open first item by default, and a label for each tab.

Subscriptions (selling plans)

Products sold with a subscription app show their purchase options in the Subscription options block: one-time purchase and each subscription plan, with the plan’s price. Lintel shows subscription details in the cart as well. Set up plans with a subscription app such as Shopify Subscriptions.

Pickup availability

When you offer local pickup (Settings > Shipping and delivery > Local pickup), the Pickup availability block shows whether the selected variant can be picked up and opens a list of locations.

Gift cards

Gift card products use the Gift card section on the product.gift-card template. It includes the recipient form, so shoppers can send the gift card to someone else by email on a chosen date. Assign the gift-card template to your gift card products in the product’s Theme template setting.

Quick view and quick add

Product cards can show Quick add and Quick view buttons, set per section. Quick view opens the product in a dialog with its gallery, variant picker and add to cart button.
