I am currently facing an issue with displaying swatches on the collection page of my Shopify store (Prestige 7.3.6). The challenge arises from the fact that I have not utilised colour variants in my product setup.

While the swatches are correctly displayed, clicking on them leads to a 404 error page. I suspect this issue might be related to how the product URLs are configured or how the product pages are structured in my store.

Could you please provide guidance on how to ensure that clicking on these swatches directs users to the respective product pages?

Additionally, these products are listed in the Metafield. Like in this [Product variations / linked products - Shopify Themes](http://Product%20variation metafield)
