related products.md

What you want

You want to create a section with settings that can be toggled on and off:

How you get it

1. Create the 'related-products.liquid' as a section file.
2. In the product template file, add the following section inclusion: {% section 'related-products' %} right beneath the {% section 'product-template' %} line.

related-products.liquid

{% if section.settings.show_related_products == true %}
<hr>
<div class="product-template__container page-width" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product" id="ProductSection-{{ section.id }}" data-section-id="{{ section.id }}" data-section-type="product" data-enable-history-state="true">

  Number of related items per row,
  and number of rows.
{% endcomment %}

{% assign number_of_related_products_per_row = section.settings.related_grid_num %}
{% assign number_of_rows = section.settings.related_grid_row %}

{% comment %}
  Heading.
  Leave blank if you don't need one.
{% endcomment %}

{% assign heading = section.settings.related_title %}

  to limit yourself to items with same vendor, and/or type.
