If you use the theme version 4.12.0 or higher, you can customize Metafileds in your *Shopify Admin -> Settings -> Metafields and metaobjects -> Products*. Check this [**video tutorial**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7xcBE9MVUY\&list=PLj-506KaR_vcQjwcpC6yII-1JY0bSj7df\&index=35).
If you use lower theme versions, please consider installing an app, e.g., a free Metafields Guru app. Check the [**video tutorial**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qQNZudcstY\&list=PLj-506KaR_vcQjwcpC6yII-1JY0bSj7df\&index=33) for more information.
