Replacement Consumables Setup Guide
A replacement consumables directory helps repeat buyers find the correct filter, liner, or refill for equipment they already own. This table puts the equipment model beside the consumable code and pack quantity. Table Master can filter the relationship records without implying compatibility beyond your source data.

Try the storefront example
Choose Demo dispenser D1 to find a ten-unit liner pack. Compare the pack quantity before following the real product link in your store.
These presets are available in Table Master. Changes apply to this example only.
Use these settings in your store
Open your table view, then select Design.
- Table colors → Design template: Ocean blue.
- Cell padding: set Top, Bottom, Left, and Right to 8 px.
- Table style → Text alignment: Left.
- Table style → Rounded corners: Medium (6px).
Save the table view. Check it in your theme. Your theme controls the font and available width.
This example uses Table Master storefront code with sample data and the settings below. Your theme’s fonts and available width can change the result. Example links show their destination; purchase controls use a sample cart. Use the checks below to confirm the finished setup in your store.
Build it in Table Master
- In Table Master, create a database from Google Sheets or a spreadsheet file. Put the headings below in the first row and one record on each following row. Import only public storefront data.
- Create a table view from that database. In Column type, set text identifiers to String. Set measurements and amounts to Number. Keep each unit in its heading.
- Use equipment model and consumable type as separate custom filters.
- Use String for codes and Number for Units per pack. Add a dedicated revision column when the model family needs it.
- Keep approval notes visible. Similar parts are not necessarily interchangeable.
- Save and publish the table view. Open the target page template in the theme editor. Add the Table Master app block and choose the table view. Save the theme and test the public page.
Example settings
- The starting design is Ocean blue with 8 px padding, left-aligned text, and Medium (6 px) rounded corners. In Design, choose Ocean blue under Table colors → Design template. Set all four Cell padding values to 8. Under Table style, choose Left for Text alignment and Medium (6px) for Rounded corners. Try the other presets and corner sizes above; Reset example restores this starting design.
- This example uses a standard table with Responsive table enabled and row borders. On phones, use the row control to read columns that do not fit. Use the starting design above before you compare the result.
Sample data and content
Use these values for a test. Replace them with checked product data, published destinations, and offers that your store can supply.
| Equipment model | Consumable code | Type | Units per pack | Approval note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Demo cleaner C1 | FILTER-C1 | Dust filter | 2 | Confirm against model parts list |
| Demo cleaner C2 | FILTER-C2 | Dust filter | 1 | Confirm against model parts list |
| Demo dispenser D1 | LINER-D1 | Container liner | 10 | Confirm exact container revision |
| Demo dispenser D2 | LINER-D2 | Container liner | 5 | Confirm exact container revision |
| Demo brush B1 | HEAD-B1 | Brush head | 3 | Confirm attachment type |
How do I link a consumable to the correct equipment model?
Separate the equipment identifier from the consumable SKU. A product family can contain multiple revisions that use different refills. Include the revision in a dedicated field when needed. Pack quantity matters because two listings with similar names can contain different numbers of replacement units.
- Build each model-to-consumable relationship from approved parts lists. Add model revision columns before import if the range requires them.
- Enter pack quantities from the saleable pack rather than a bulk shipping carton.
- Import the spreadsheet and use model and consumable-type filters. Keep approval notes visible to explain the relationship.
- Add product destinations through the table editor if needed. Test that the linked product has the same code and pack size.
Read the Table Master setup guide for the full app controls and placement options.
Check the finished setup
- Filter a model that uses one specific consumable and check for unintended family-wide matches.
- Compare the table pack quantity with the actual product option selected for purchase.
- Search a consumable code and confirm all listed equipment relationships have evidence.
Common mistakes
- Do not assume visually similar replacement parts are interchangeable.
- Do not present maintenance intervals as universal unless the equipment documentation supports them.
Supported use
These examples contain reference data. They do not create Shopify products, stock, prices, shipping rules, or cart controls. Use the Shopify product import workflow when you need product and variant cart controls. Spreadsheet data changes when you import or sync it. Check the source before you use it as an inventory reference.
Table Master features, current app plans, and Table Master data sources explain the supported setup.
