Assigning Patterns to Products

By default, a pattern can be available for all products. You can also control where it appears by including or excluding specific products.

How Pattern Assignment Works

Each pattern has a product rule.

You can choose between:

This helps you keep the customizer clean and only show patterns that are suitable for each product.

1. Open the Pattern

Go to the Patterns section in your admin area.

Select the pattern you want to assign to a product.

2. Open the Products Section

Inside the pattern detail page, open the Products section.

This is where you can control which products can use the selected pattern.

By default, the pattern is usually assigned to All Products.

This means it can appear on every product in the customizer.

3. Choose the Product Rule

Select the rule you want to use.

Include Specific Products

Use this option when the pattern should only appear on selected products.

For example, if you select two products, only those two products will be able to use the pattern.

Exclude Specific Products

Use this option when the pattern should appear on most products but not on selected ones.

For example, if you exclude one product, all other products can still use the pattern, but that product will not show it.

4. Select the Products

Click the product selector and choose the products you want to include or exclude.

Once selected, the products will appear in the list.

You can add one product or multiple products.

5. Save and Verify

After assigning the pattern, go to the product page and open one of the products where the pattern should be available.

Then open the Patterns section for that product and check that the pattern appears in the list.

You can also test another product that should not have access to the pattern. The pattern should not appear there.

Example

If you set the rule to Include Specific Products and select:

• Men T-Shirt

• Men Polo

Then only those two products will be able to use the pattern in the customizer.

Other products will not show that pattern.

Best Practices

When assigning patterns:

• Use All Products only when the pattern works for every product

• Use Include Specific Products for product-specific patterns

• Use Exclude Specific Products when the pattern works for most products but not all

• Test the pattern in the customizer after assigning it

• Keep pattern assignments clean so customers only see relevant options

Summary

Assigning patterns to products lets you control where each pattern appears in the customizer.

You can make a pattern available for all products, only selected products, or all products except selected ones.

This makes the customizer easier to use and helps prevent customers from selecting patterns that are not suitable for a product.
