Product-Link Data Sources
Product-link media lets merchants attach shoppable product cards to images and videos. Use this reference when product cards, links, or media do not show the expected content.
Data Sources
| Data source | Used for | Where to configure it |
|---|---|---|
| Product picker | Product title, URL, optional thumbnail, and price for Product link cards. | Product-link block or compatible media block. |
| Custom link | A non-product destination when the block supports a manual link. | Compatible content or media block settings. |
| Image media | Still media that holds product-link positions or cards. | Section or media block image picker. |
| Shopify-hosted video | Video media that can pair with product links. | Section or video media block. |
| Product data | Availability, price, variants, images, tags, collections, and metafields used by the linked product card. | Shopify product admin. |
Setup Notes
- Use real products for product-link cards before launch.
- Image and video Product link blocks can open product-backed links on the product page or in the quick-add modal. Choose the behavior with Product link action.
- A custom link always opens its assigned destination, even when Product link action is set to Open quick add.
- Product link cards do not expose inline variant selection, badges, or swatches. When quick add opens, its modal provides the applicable product options and purchase controls.
- Keep linked cards away from important image details and video controls.
- Test product cards on desktop hover and mobile tap.
- Use Product-card blocks when swatches, badges, quick add, or Product item composition needs review on collection, search, recommendation, or catalog product cards.
