# Info popup

The **Information popup** appears as a clickable link with an icon next to a **variant selector** (e.g. size, color, material).

When clicked, the popup will appear on top of the product page with your info popup content.

## Create pages for popup content

***

The **Information popup** displays content from a **Page** created in your Shopify admin. Use Shopify's page editor to [create tables](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shopify-admin/productivity-tools/rich-text-editor#insert-tables-with-the-rich-text-editor) with images, links, and other rich text to display in the popup modal.

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.

## Set up popup for variant

***

Once you've created a page for your popup content, you can add a **popup** link next to one of your [Product options](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/variants) (for example, *Size* or *Material*).

1. Click **Variant selector** block to open settings.
2. Enter the **Option name** for the product variant you want to show the popup.
3. Under *Content*, click **Select page**.

{% hint style="info" %}
The same page content will appear for every product that uses the same template. You can [display unique popup content for different products](#use-metafields-to-display-unique-product-guides) by using metafields.
{% endhint %}

## 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.

{% hint style="warning" %}

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.

<details>

<summary><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>STEPS</strong></mark></summary>

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**.

</details>

### 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**.

<details>

<summary><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>STEPS</strong></mark></summary>

In your theme editor (**Customize**):
