How to handle complex shops with product data

Question

Hi, I need to build a pet food online shop with fairly complex products.

It's similar to one of your showcase:
https://vioneers.com/products/paulett_reserve_shiraz_109_2018

Each product will have info to display set up by using multiple collections and using reference and multi-reference fields on Webflow.

But I suppose such data structure will be very difficult to manage on Shopify backend. How should I handle this when I am using liquify to create a theme? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @anthonyc, shopify also provides a very complex CMS with Metafields and Metaobjects. So you could set it up the same way as you have it now in webflow. Here is how to create a metafield: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/custom-data/metafields/metafield-definitions/creating-custom-metafield-definitions
