  • Gallery slider pagination shows dots or thumbnails under the slider.

Functionality

Select the first available variant by default selects the first variant in stock. When it is off, customers must select every option before they can add to cart.

Product blocks

The section is built from the product page blocks, in the order you set. These blocks are available, and documented on the product page block pages:

One block exists only here: Product link adds a full-width "View product details" button that opens the product page. It has no settings.

The Share, Complementary products, Custom HTML / Liquid, Button, Popup and Variant metafield blocks are not available in this section.

All the product page blocks except Share, Complementary products, Custom HTML / Liquid, Button, Popup and Variant metafield, plus the Product link block. Blocks that read metafields, such as Collapsible tab or Nutriscore, read the metafields of the selected product. The blocks and their settings are separate from the product page: set them again in each Featured product section.

Select the section's Variant picker block, set Variants selector type to Blocks and type the same metafields as on the product page in Metaobject swatch metafields. Shopify swatches from category metafields show without any setting. See Variant swatches.

Every setting of the section and of its 30 blocks, with its type and default.
