Metafields
Use your favorite meta field editor app or add metafields from your Shopify Admin if you need to have custom labels, sale countdown, size chart, and custom tabs for a separate product.
IMPORTANT!
If you use the theme version 4.12.0 or higher, you can customize Metafileds in your Shopify Admin -> Settings -> Custom data -> Products. Check this video tutorial.
If you use lower theme versions, please consider installing an app, e.g. a free Metafields Guru app. Check the video tutorial for more information.
IMPORTANT! No capital letters are allowed in the namespace and key fields!
You can add meta fields to products from your Shopify Admin.
Please note, if previously you customized meta fields via the app, this method will not work. You need to remove all meta fields in the app before starting configurations in your Shopify Admin.
How to add Metafields to your products from Shopify Admin:
- Add a Metafield format in Shopify Admin -> Settings -> Custom data -> Products:

- Press “Add definition” and fill in the fields. Save changes.
- In Shopify Admin -> Products -> Metafileds, add the value to the field. Save changes.

You can add two labels via Metafields: “New” and “Hot”.
Step 1
Enable labels “New” and “Hot” in Theme settings ->
-> Product -> Collection Page (for Collection pages/Collections)
-> Product Page & Quick View (for Product pages)
Step 2
Meta field format for a label “New”:
- Name = e.g. New label
- Namespace and key = labels.new
- Description = Your text
- Select content type -> Text -> Single line text
- Value = true

Step 3
Add the value “true” to the corresponding field for each product in Shopify Admin -> Products -> Metafileds:

Meta field format for a label “Hot”:
- Name = e.g. Hot label
- Namespace and key = labels.hot
- Description = Your text
- Select content type -> Text -> Single line text
- Value = true
The Sale Countdown will be shown for the product on the Collection page and the Quick View popup, on the Product page.
Step 1
Set the “Compare at price” in Shopify Admin -> Products
Step 2
Collection pages:
Enable the option “Show countdown” in Theme settings -> Product -> Collection Page (for Collection pages/Collections).
Product pages:
Step 3
Add the Metafield format:
- Name = e.g. Sale Countdown
- Namespace and key = countdown.date

Create the unique “Size guide” for each product via Metafields.
Step 1
Step 2
Meta field format:
- Name = e.g. Size Guide
- Namespace and key = sizeguide.html

If you have already added the Meta field format for “Size guide”:

Meta field format #2:
- Name = e.g. Custom Tab
- Namespace and key = tab.content
- Description = Your text
- Select content type -> Text -> Single line text
- Value = your HTML code
