Add as many pages as you need for unique product guides to tell customers about sizes, materials, or any other details they need to know before purchasing your products.

Note For multiple guides for different products, see the steps for creating unique info popups for different products by using metafields. See the steps at the end of this guide.

Use metafields to display unique product guides

You can display unique info popups for different products by using metafields. Once you create page content for multiple info popups (e.g. different size charts), you can link those pages to specific products by adding metafields in your Shopify admin.

Then, in the theme editor, insert that metafield as a dynamic source to automatically display the correct information.

Watch the video tutorial or follow the written instructions below.

1. Add 'Page reference' metafield

First, you need to add a Page reference metafield to your product pages. This field will store the specific page you want to link to each product in your Shopify admin.

Make sure you've created pages with your info popup content before following these steps.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Click the Variant selector or Information popup block to open the settings.

  2. Click the Connect dynamic source button next to the Content option in the Information popup settings. Then click + Create Metafield.

    Alternatively, go to Settings > Custom data in your Shopify admin.

  3. Click the Products tab.

  4. Click the Add definition button in the top-right.

  5. Add a Name to the metafield that describes what it will be used for so you can remember and find it easily. For example: "Size guide".

  6. Click the (+) Select content type button and select Page under Reference.

  7. Click Save.

2. Link pages with popup content to products

Once you've added the Page reference metafield to your products in the Shopify admin, you can now enter the specific pages you want for the info popup by going to your product inventory in the Shopify admin.

STEPS

In your Shopify Admin:

  1. Click Products in the admin sidebar. Open the product(s) you want to add the info popup page.

  2. Scroll down to the Metafields section on the product page and click on the metafield you created and click Select page.

  3. Repeat these steps to update the Page reference metafield for each product.

  4. Click Save.

3. Insert page metafields in theme editor

Now that the product Metafields you created link to the correct pages for your popup content, you can insert that metafield into the theme editor as a Dynamic source.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Click the the popup block to open the settings.

  2. Click the Connect dynamic source button next to the Content option.

  3. Select the Metafield that you created (e.g. "size guide").

  4. You can now view or preview your different products to ensure that the correct Information popup content appears on each product page.

  5. Click Save.
