Adding metafields to your Guru Shopify store is easy and only takes a few minutes!
When adding metafields to your shop, be sure to carefully consider the implications of each metafield you add. Make sure that you understand how the metafield will be used and what data it will contain before adding it to your shop. Additionally, be sure to keep your metafields well organized and securely stored to minimize the risk of unauthorized access or misuse.
First, you’ll need to create a new metafield in your Shopify admin. To do this, go to Online Store > Metafields.
From here, you’ll want to click on the Add Metafield button. This will bring up a modal window where you can fill in your metafield’s information.
The first thing you’ll need to do is select a namespace for your metafield. This is just a way of grouping your metafields together so that you can easily find them later on.
Next, you’ll need to choose a key for your metafield. This is the name of your metafield and should be something that describes what it is. For example, if you’re adding a metafield for an product’s color, you might call it “color” or “product_color”.
The next thing you’ll need to do is choose the value type for your metafield. This can be either a string, integer, or json value. For our example, we’ll choose string since we’re just going to be storing a color value.
Finally, you’ll need to enter in the actual value for your metafield. In our case, this would be the actual color value (e.g.
“red”, “blue”, etc.). Once you’ve entered in all of the information for your metafield, simply click on the Save button and you’re done!
Now that you’ve created your metafield, it’s time to add it to your Guru Shopify store! To do this, go to Online Store > Themes. From here, find the theme that you want to edit and click on the Edit code button.
Once you’re in the theme code editor, you’ll want to find the file that contains the code for the page that you want to add the metafield to. For example, if you want to add the metafield to a product page, you would find the file called “product-template.liquid”. Once you’ve found the correct file, simply add the following code snippet wherever you want the metafield to appear:
{% if product.metafields.namespace != blank %}
{% for mf in product.metafields %}
{% if mf.key == ‘key’ %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
Be sure to replace ‘namespace’ with the actual namespace of your metafield and ‘key’ with the actual key of your metafield. Once you’ve added this code snippet, simply save your changes and you’re done! Your metafield will now appear on your Shopify store!
