Product pages

A Benchline product page is a datasheet with a buy area. The buy area comes first (title, price, options, quantity, buy buttons, pickup), because a returning shopper who already knows the part should not scroll past a table to buy it. The full specification follows, generated from the product record.

The datasheet

The Specification table block renders the product record as grouped rows, in this order:

1. Identity: manufacturer part number, specification summary
2. Dimensions: primary dimension, length, width, height, diameter, thread and standard
3. Materials: material, finish and coating
4. Ratings and compliance: primary rating, secondary rating, compliance and certification
5. Compatibility: compatibility values, position, cross-reference
6. Pack: pack quantity, datasheet download

Rules the table follows:

• A group with no values is skipped entirely. A product with sparse data shows a short honest table, not a grid of empty rows.
• A product with no specification values at all shows no table, and the page is a standard product page. It remains fully purchasable. See the FAQ for why this is the intended behavior.
• Labels stay on one line at desktop widths and the value takes the rest of the row, so long values wrap in their own column instead of crushing the label.
• The Installation note field renders as prose below the table. It is never squeezed into a table row.
• The block setting Specification group order can lead with the schema order, dimensions first, or ratings first. The Flowline style sets dimensions first; the Voltline style sets ratings first.

Variants are datasheet changes

Changing a variant updates the image, price, compare-at price, unit price, SKU, and the specification rows in one move. Where a variant carries its own dimension override, rating override, or compatibility note (see Specification data), the datasheet shows the variant values in place of the product values. Variant images follow the selected variant, and every product image stays reachable in the gallery. Product video and other rich media render in the gallery at their own aspect ratio.

The blocks of the main product section

• Title
• Vendor and SKU: vendor, SKU, and manufacturer part number, each switchable
• Price: with unit price and a taxes note, each switchable
• Fit check: the verdict panel described in Fit check
• Variant picker: option values render as swatches when the option is linked to color metafield values in the admin; selecting a value updates the whole page as described above
• Specification table
• Buy buttons: quantity selector and dynamic checkout buttons, each switchable. Accelerated checkout buttons render unmodified, as Shopify requires
• Pickup availability: per-variant availability at your locations, following the standard Shopify pattern; a variant with no stocked location shows no pickup block
• Shop Pay Installments: the installments banner for eligible products
• Selling plan selector: subscription and replenishment options when the product has selling plans; the chosen plan carries into the cart
• Description
• Complementary products: products assigned as complementary in Search and Discovery, with its own heading and a limit setting. Read the note below before you judge it empty.
• Share: with a copy-link button
• Availability note: your own words about availability. Stock counts are never shown.
• App blocks and a Custom Liquid block, for the places Shopify lets apps and your own markup join the page

Section settings cover the breadcrumb, the finder link used by the fit panel, whether the fit panel shows the specification summary, and whether the media sits before or after the buy column.

A note on complementary products

Shopify's recommendation engine excludes some products on purpose: anything already in the shopper's cart, out of stock, priced at zero, or a gift card never appears as a recommendation. So if you add the complementary product to your cart while testing and then reload the page, the block hides, because a completed recommendation load with no products hides the block rather than leaving an empty heading. That is the platform behaving as documented, not the theme dropping your assignment. To verify an assignment, check it with an empty cart. The assignment itself is made in Search and Discovery, under complementary product recommendations.

Gift cards and recipient options

Gift card products show the standard recipient fields (recipient email, name, message, send date) in the buy area. A completed gift card purchase carries those details on the cart line, and the gift card page itself renders the card with its QR code at a fixed readable size.
