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.

Product Metafields
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.
Shopify Admin
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.
