WooCommerce brands feature in WooCommerce core is being enabled for all users in the WooCommerce 9.6 release, which is scheduled for release on the 20th of January.

MainWP has an easy-to-use extension to save and execute code snippets on all connected sites, making it simple to deal with code snippets over multiple sites.
