How to setup

There are three main steps involved for using Broadcast's upsell feature:

1. Create a product metafield with a unique namespace and key called: theme.upsell

2. Link products together in the Product setup

3. Add the Upsell block to the Product form in the Theme Editor.

Let's begin with creating a new custom metafield:
