How to add accessories to product pages in Shopify

To add accessories to product pages in Shopify, you can follow these steps:

 

1. Create a Collection for Accessories: Start by creating a collection specifically for your accessories. Go to your Shopify admin dashboard and navigate to the “Products” section. Click on “Collections” and then select “Create collection.” Give your collection a name, such as “Accessories,” and set any other relevant settings.

 

2. Assign Products as Accessories: Next, assign the relevant products as accessories to the collection you just created. Edit each accessory product and scroll down to the “Collections” section. Check the box next to the “Accessories” collection to include the product in that collection. Save your changes.

 

3. Modify the Product Page Template: To display the accessories on the product page, you’ll need to modify the product page template. In your Shopify admin dashboard, go to “Online Store” and select “Themes.” Find the theme you’re using and click on “Actions” > “Edit code.”

 

4. Edit the Product Template:In the code editor, locate the “product-template.liquid” file. This file controls the layout and content of the product page. Open it and find the section where you want to display the accessories. This could be below the product description or in a separate section.

 

5. Add the Accessories Section: In the appropriate location, add the code to display the accessories. You can use liquid code to loop through the accessories collection and display the relevant products. Here’s an example of the code you can use:

 

“`liquid

{% for product in collections.accessories.products %}

<div class=”accessory-item”>

<a href=”{{ product.url }}”>

<img src=”{{ product.featured_image | img_url: ‘medium’ }}” alt=”{{ product.title }}”>

<h3>{{ product.title }}</h3>

<p>{{ product.price | money }}</p>

</a>

</div>

{% endfor %}

“`

This code loops through the products in the “Accessories” collection and displays their images, titles, and prices. Customize the HTML and CSS to match your store’s design.

 

6. Save and Publish: Once you’ve added the accessories section, save the changes to the code and preview the product page to ensure everything looks as expected. If everything is working correctly, publish the changes to make them live on your store.

 

By following these steps, you can add accessories to your product pages in Shopify. This allows customers to easily see and purchase related accessories, enhancing their shopping experience and potentially increasing sales.

Remember to regularly update your accessories collection and product pages as new accessories are added or removed from your inventory.
