Add dynamic content for different products

If you want to show different text for specific products, you can use Shopify's metafields and dynamic sources. These features allow you to store custom information for each of your products and automatically display that information on the correct product pages.

Follow the steps below to create metafields for your products, add text to your products' metafields, then use Dynamic sources to connect those metafields to text fields in your theme editor.

For a general introduction, see our .

1. Create metafield for products

Shopify's Metafields lets you store additional information about your products. You can create custom fields to hold different types of information in your Shopify admin, and enter unique content for each of your products.

The steps below tell you how to add a metafield for storing text that you want to display in the accordion block.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Click on a Accordion block to open the settings.

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

  5. Enter a Name that describes what information the metafield will contain. For example: "Shipping", "Materials", "Details".

  6. Click (+) Select type button and select Single line text or Multi-line text.

  7. Click Save.

2. Add content to metafields

Once you've created Metafields for your products in the Shopify admin, you can now add content to those fields for your products in the Shopify admin.

STEPS

In your Shopify admin:

  1. Go to your Product inventory in your Shopify admin and open one of your Products.

  2. Scroll down to the Metafields section and enter the text for your Accordion heading or text in the metafields that you created.

  3. Click Save.

  4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 to enter content to the metafields for each of your products.

3. Insert metafields as dynamic sources

Now that the Metafields of your products have content, you can go to the theme editor to insert a Dynamic source to the Accordion block.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Click on a Accordion block to open the settings.

  2. Click the Insert dynamic source button next to Heading or Text field.
