What's newin Layers

Shopify combined-listing colorways can now be grouped into a product family automatically, and interaction-based block recommendations treat each family as one product.

Blocks can now serve the products a merchant authored in a Shopify reference metafield on the anchor product, like "wear it with" or "refills for this" — no duplicate curation required.

Layers now supports Shopify collections that include only some of a product’s variants, so browse, filters, price sorting, and variant breakouts respect exactly what’s in the collection.

Test Image Search in Lab now supports drag-and-drop uploads, picking an image straight from Shopify media, and searching by a cropped region of the photo.

Support Shopify B2B catalogs across search, browse, and recommendation blocks.

Include Shopify pages in content search alongside blog articles.

Automatically crawl Shopify pages and turn them into semantic redirect destinations.

Exclude unused Shopify metafield definitions from Layers syncs.

Include products outside the Online Store channel in search and browse results.

Resolve Shopify metaobject references across product and variant metafields.

Use Shopify crawler signatures to improve Layers image fetching.

Expand product metafield support for richer catalog data in Layers.
