Related Articles

A heading and a list of underlined links at the bottom of the buy column — “Related Articles”, then a few blog posts or pages worth reading about the product.

The links come from metafields on the product, not from the customizer. Only the heading is editable here.

Add it inside Product Main, at the end of the buy column.

Settings

Setting	What it does
Section Title	The heading above the list. Defaults to “Related Articles”. Clear it to show the links with no heading.

Where the links come from

Two metafields on the product, both lists:

Metafield	Type	What it holds
custom.related_articles	List of blog articles	Blog posts to link to.
custom.related_pages	List of pages	Pages to link to.

You can populate one, the other, or both. The block shows articles first, then pages, each in the order the metafield lists them. Each link uses the article’s or page’s own title — there’s no way to relabel a link here.

The block hides itself when both are empty

With neither metafield populated, nothing renders — not even the heading. So the block is safe to leave on every product template; it only appears on products that have something to link to.

“Related Articles” may be the wrong heading

The heading is fixed copy and the list may contain pages as well as blog posts. If a product links mostly to pages, the default heading will misdescribe them — change it to something like “Learn more” instead.

Tips

• Three to five links is the sweet spot. The list has no cap and no truncation, so a long metafield produces a long list at the bottom of the buy column.
• Order the metafield deliberately. The list renders in metafield order, so put the most useful link first. There is nothing to reorder in the customizer.
• Watch for unpublished targets. A link to an unpublished article or page still renders and leads to a 404 for customers. Unpublishing content means checking which products link to it.
• Give the links useful titles. The link text is the article or page title verbatim. “Migraine triggers explained” reads far better in this list than “Blog post 4”.
• Consider a different heading per product. The heading is a per-block setting, so a product template used for one product can carry copy specific to it.
