FAQ

#ProductReference — frequently asked questions.

What is #ProductReference on Shopify?
#ProductReference is a Shopify app in the Metafields category. Do you want a given product to reference a list of other products that match on a given value, but do not want to maintain the reference list yourself? In a fashion shop this could e.g. be a reference to products with the same style. Other usages could be grouping products by color or similar. With Referencd you can select which metafield value should group products together (e.g. style), and the app will update and maintain the list of references for each product in another defined metafield.
How much does #ProductReference cost?
#ProductReference has a single paid plan at $25/month on the Shopify App Store.
Is #ProductReference free?
No, #ProductReference is a paid Shopify app. Plans start at $25/month on the Shopify App Store.
When was #ProductReference launched?
#ProductReference launched on March 9, 2023 — over 3 years on the Shopify App Store.
Is #ProductReference Built for Shopify?
#ProductReference does not currently carry Shopify's Built for Shopify badge. The badge is awarded to apps that meet Shopify's published standards for performance, ease of use, and merchant value — many high-quality apps operate without it.

Each alternative covers a similar use case but differs on pricing model, integration depth, and the specific themes merchants praise in reviews — see the alternatives section above for a side-by-side.

Methodology

Where the numbers come from.

Ratings, review counts, pricing tiers, “Built for Shopify”, launch date, and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
