How to display Related products through Shopify metafields
Related Products Module lets you show related products of a selected product. The related products are configured in Shopify in the product settings through metafields.
Related Products Module offers an advanced way of showing related products by using variants. This means you can display a specific variant (e.g. Blue/Medium) of a product as a related product and allow quick add to cart.
This component is made up of three sub-components:
Related Products Container: Limits the borders of the module as an outer wrapper element.
Related Products List: The looping container of the related product items.
Related Products Item: Related product card which is populated dynamically with Shopify data on page load.

Setting up the module
Follow the below steps to configure your Related Products module.

Click View All.
Click View definitions on the top right corner.
Click Add definition button on the top right corner.
Give your metafield the following name: Shopyflow Related Products
Remove anything that's written in the Namespace and key field and enter the following value: shopyflow--recommendation.related_products
Click Select type and choose Product variant from the list. Choosing product variant as type will allow you pick a specific variant of a product as a related product.

Make sure the newly created metafield is pinned.
② Choose related products (variants)
Choose one product and go to its settings in Shopify and scroll down to product metafields section.
Click on the Shopyflow Related Products metafield.
Choose the variants that you want to use as related products.
Go to Webflow Designer and paste the element on the page.
Select the outermost element of the pasted element (Related Products Container)

Publish your site.
By default the title of the products in the Related Products Module take the customer to the respective porudct pages. Take a look at the following section if your product page path is not "products".
If you are using a product page path other than "Products" do the following !
If you are using a product page path other than "products", you need to add the product-page-path attribute to your Shopyflow Engine code snippet.
For example if your product page path is "articles",you need to add product-page-path="articles" attribute to your existing Shopyflow Engine code snippet as shown below.
<!-- Shopyflow CSS --><linkrel="stylesheet"href="https://cdn.shopyflow.io/[VERSION]/shopyflow.css"/><!-- Shopyflow Engine --><scriptdefersf-token="[STOREFRONT API KEY]"sf-domain="[SHOPIFY STORE DOMAIN]"src="https://cdn.shopyflow.io/[VERSION]/shopyflow.js"product-page-path="articles"></script>
Do NOT add a second Shopyflow code snippet to your Webflow site or use an example code snippet (like the one above) directly. Update your existing Shopyflow code snippet instead.
