Motion v11.1.0 adds support for products with more than 250 variants and combined listings with a new section and template.

Added

• Added support for high-variant products and combined listings! With the new high-variant product template, you can now display products with 250+ variants directly in your store. This update follows Shopify's requirements for supporting large product catalogs.
