It is always great when you find what you are looking for with the first search on KZbin! Thank you Brendan. :)

My pleasure 😁

This video was super helpful!! I struggled for a week trying to figure out why my ingredient list was the same for all products. I did not understand how to set up the metafields by just reading the descriptions. Just subscribed because this video saved me so much time.

[@theecomacademy]

Glad it helped you

OMG you changed my life!!! Thank you sooo much :)

[@rachelmark9744]

Oh my gosh. THANK YOU!! I spent hours trying to navigate and understand the many Shopify apps for adding tabs onto product pages for ingredients. None of them made sense to me. This literally was the answer I need!!

@@theecomacademy well, looks like the metafields are not readable for my online store. I made contact with shopify support, and they told me that there are some dawn theme that does not support metafields like multiline text. i have online one line text available when I want to connect my metafields to my store…..

[@smartmotion2024]

why my dawn theme doesn’t read the metafields created?:(

[@theecomacademy]

Glad you found it!

[@elisejones1795]

Thanks for this video. Could you take this one set further to then make a collection of products filterable by those custom metafields? For example: in a collection for coffee, you could set up a metafield for "Origin" with a set or pre-defined values to set for each product in that collection (Guatemala, Columbia, Mexico, etc). Then filter the collection by Coffee Origin, and the user can see only all coffees from "Columbia."

[@theecomacademy]

Great idea! I'll add that to my video list

[@mabregop]

Great Video Brendan!! thank you so much. My question is, what if I want to have a different collapsible row for each product (ex: for coffee : ingredients, for toothbrush: materials) what should I do?

[@allup2934]

Exactly what I was looking for

[@theecomacademy]

Great

[@asaldavid]

Great video. Thank you very much. What I am wondering is. how did you make the "bestseller" badge a the top. Which type of metafield is it and how are you able to make it with black background and round edges?

[@theecomacademy]

This is often built into the theme, check to see if your theme has badges on it

[@timostime]

Hi, thanks for this great video! I liked the quick description section at 1:47. How could I achieve this? I created a product metafiled with multi-line text. Then I added a text block on the product template. However, when I try click 'connect dynamic source', I don't see the product metafiled I created. Once again, thank you for a very clear and useful video!

[@outkst012l]

Is there a way to populate the metafield value directly to product import csv file? After creating the metafield and downloading the csv file template, i do not see any column headers for the newly created metafields. Would bulk editing via admin portal be the only way to do this? This vid is GREAT btw and such useful content. Cheers mate!

[@theecomacademy]

Yes! Manually add a value to the metafields on one product, then export the data from the product export. You will then see a new column with the metafields

[@rebeccaheinjus9044]

Any chance there is a video on how to do product siblings please? I have scarves as separate products, but would love them to link and have each colour but not as a varient. Thanks.

[@pperera683]

Hi Brendan, I just want to know how to add a Social image. For example: when I share a product URL, I want to show an image of that product. Please do a Tutorial on that.

[@theecomacademy]

It should do it by default. If not speak to the theme developer

[@rebeccagriggs2896]

Hi Brendan. This mega helpful but when I follow your path to ensure it only shows in specific products via the bulk action, the rows are all blank despite being filled. Any tips?

Can this metafield information be added via a bulk product import CSV file? And if so, what do your column headings need to match?

[@ohpedics]

Hi Brendan, how do you get the text to be shown under a collapsible row on your website. Thank you!

[@theecomacademy]

You will likely need a developer to help you if it's not in your theme

[@SandroLimadePaula]

wow!!! eu sou brasileiro. não temos aqui conteúdos sobre meta campos em português. Se você incluir a dublagem vai pegar muita audiência daqui, pois esta informação muda o jogo e é uma tendência pras lojas da shopify. Muito obrigado! .... I am Brazilian. We do not have content about meta fields in Portuguese. If you include the voice acting will get a lot of audience from here, as this information changes the game and is a trend for Shopify stores. Thank you very much!

you are my hero

[@theecomacademy]

Awww thanks 🙏

[@PaulSMusical]

hey quick question: I noticed that since you added the metafield 'ingredients' to the product pages, that specific metafield was still visible on the toothbrush page. Should a certain metafield not be applicable to all products, how do you use metafields without having metafield sections on products that don't require them?

[@TheDottyDogCo]

This is what im wondering. As i need in ingredients and the materials

[@user-hr7un7lr9f]

Great video! Do you know how i can set up product siblings using the new metafields? I have tried but cant seem to be doing it correct. I think i have missed something

[@juicer5247]

how do you format the text? (make bold / add bullet points etc)

[@youlovejesscreations2078]

Thank you

[@theecomacademy]

Welcome!

[@TheDottyDogCo]

Does this work for changing and updating all? For example i have some food related products which require ingredients, but then clothing items that require materials. So how do i remove the ingredients for the clothing products to make it materials? Thank you :)

[@theecomacademy]

Yes you do that using product templates. You can then bulk update using the bulk update action directly in Shopify

[@SteveYeaton]

Is there a way to format this text? It seems to be plain text only and I would like to add bullet points and bold text. Pasting HTML doesn't work unfortunately.

[@user-bj1ry6hd3e]

hey, how do you turn off metafields on certain products? Like you suggested, you wouldn't need an ingredients metafield for a toothbrush, so how do you prevent it from showing on that product page?

[@theecomacademy]

You would need to create these as different product templates. Add the metafield to the template you want and remove it from the other. So in your case you would create a 'toothbrush' template

[@BrettArmstrong1]

Awesome thanks, very helpful

[@theecomacademy]

No problem!

[@esmeecruiming8213]

Hi there, I tried the bulk edit but somehow it does not work. Any tips? Much appreciated :)

You use product templates to achieve this

[@marvinwittmann6556]

[@theecomacademy]

Metafields aren't designed for long form content. Why aren't you using the product description field in the main product section? Alternatively you could link to page content if you need longer content.

Thanks for the video. You said you did the 'Best Sellers', etc labels with metafields. But they are also in colour. So how did you add them? As a file? or are they metaobjects?
