Metafields

Metafields add product details without putting them in the description.

  1. Create a definition: Settings > Custom data > Products > Add definition. For example:
    • Materials: namespace and key custom.materials, type Multi-line text.
    • Care guide: Shopify’s standard definition descriptors.care_guide.
    • Origin: custom.origin, type Single line text.
  2. Fill in the values on each product, at the bottom of the product page in admin.
  3. Show them on the product page: add a Collapsible row block and enter the definition in Product metafield as namespace.key, for example custom.materials. The row heading comes from Heading.
  4. Fallback: when a product has no value for that metafield, the row shows the block’s Text or Page content instead. When none of them has content, the row is hidden.

Text, rich text and list metafields render with Shopify’s formatting. You can also connect metafields to most text and image settings with the editor’s Connect dynamic source button.
