“Siblings” are separate products that share a common trait — usually color — and are linked together so they display as swatches on one product card, instead of appearing as separate listings on your collection page.
Before you start
- From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
- Next to the theme you want to edit, click Customize.
- In the left-hand panel, click Theme settings, then select Product cards.
Everything below applies inside this Product cards panel.
Showing siblings on collection pages
- Find the Swatches section and turn on Show siblings on collections.
- Click Save in the top-right corner of the editor.
For a full walkthrough of setting up product siblings — creating the metafield connections that link products together — see How to setup siblings.
Troubleshooting
Siblings not showing as swatches? Confirm the products are actually linked as siblings first — this toggle only controls display, not the underlying connection. See How to setup siblings.
Changes not showing on your store? Make sure you’re editing the theme currently published as your live theme, not a draft or duplicate.
