How to use Color Swatches with Amplify Bundles

What is "Color Swatches with Amplify Bundles"

Color swatches allow customers to visually select product variations based on color, making the shopping experience more intuitive and engaging. When used with the Amplify Bundles, color swatches help customers seamlessly choose their preferred product combinations.

This feature is managed through Shopify's Category Metafields, which store product attributes such as color options. If configured in Shopify for regular products, color swatches will automatically appear on your product pages and in the Amplify bundle widgets.

Steps to Configure Color Swatches in Shopify

Follow these steps to set up color swatches for your bundle and upsell scenarios:

1. Assign A Category to Each Product

To ensure your products support color swatches, you must assign them to a Category that supports native Shopify color swatches.

• Go to Shopify Admin > Products.

• Select the product you want to configure with color swatches.

• Scroll down to the Category section and assign an appropriate category that supports "Color" category metafield (e.g., "Apparel" or "Accessories").

2. Add Color Options to Metafields

Once a category is assigned, you can define available colors.

• In the Category Metafields section of the product, look for a field related to color.

• Add the available colors as predefined options (e.g., Red, Blue, Green).

3. Link Variants to the Color Metafield

To ensure customers can select colors seamlessly:

• Go to Variants.

• Check that each variant has a corresponding color option configured.

• If a product has multiple colors, they should be automatically pulled by the metafields.

4. Save and Test the Bundle on the Storefront

After making these changes:

• Click Save to apply the changes.

• Preview the product page to check if color swatches appear.

• If everything is set up correctly, customers will see color swatches when selecting a product.
