Use Native Shopify Swatches

This setting allows Rubik to use color or image swatches defined in Shopify metafields, instead of Rubik’s custom swatch images/colors.

How it works

• If a variant option has a metafield color → Rubik uses that color
• If it has an image metafield → Rubik uses that image
• If both exist → image takes priority
• If no metafields exist → Rubik uses your custom swatch settings

When to enable

• You already use Shopify’s native swatch metafields
• You want your theme’s original color swatches to stay intact
• You want consistency across apps or theme features

When to keep disabled

• You prefer using Rubik’s custom swatches only
• You do not use Shopify metafields for color or pattern values
