Admin setup guide

Create a metafield definition

Create only the ones you need from the definitions list.

1. Admin → Settings → Custom data → Products
2. Click Add definition
3. Enter:
   • Name: anything (e.g. Lead time)
   • Namespace and key: the value in the definitions list (e.g. custom.lead_time_days)
   • Type: the type in the definitions list
4. Save

Enter values per product in the “Metafields” section at the bottom of the product edit page.

Unpublished data is not shown

When a metaobject definition has “Publishing status” on, draft entries are not shown in the store. No error appears; they are simply left out. Check the entry status as well.

• After creating an entry, make sure its status is Active/Published
• Check each entry’s status in the admin

Settings that take a namespace or key

Some theme settings and section settings ask for a metafield namespace or key (for example, the product card’s “Metafield namespace”, the favorites’ “Metafield key”, and the spec table’s “Metafield namespace”). To use a metafield your store already has, enter the same namespace and key as in the admin definition.
