The Related Products feature has become deprecated in the most recent updates to our themes and replaced with Shopify's Recommended Products feature.

Related Products is only available in the Turbo theme (before version 4.2.0), Responsive theme (before version 7.1.0), Mobilia theme (before version 6.1.0), Parallax theme (before version 3.6.0), Retina theme (before version 4.6.0), and Artisan theme (before version 1.2.0). In our most recent theme versions, Shopify's Recommended Products is available instead. 

What theme version am I using?

Related products are simply other products from the same product collection.

How to specify related products

If you would like a specific collection to be used for your product's related products, you can follow these instructions:

Create the related collection and make note of the collection's handle. The collection's handle can be seen by clicking 'Edit Website SEO' within the collection itself.
See below for an example:

Edit your product and add a new tag that specifies the collection's handle:

The products in this collection should now be displayed in the Related Products section.
