Updated
2 min read

Shopify Online Store 2.0 themes are a new generation of themes that offer more flexibility and customization options than previous themes. One of the key features of is support for Metafields. Metafields are custom fields that you can add to products, collections, pages, and other Shopify resources. This allows you to store additional information about your products and store, which you can then use to personalize your storefront experience.

Here are some examples of metafields that you can use in Shopify 2.0 themes:

  • Product metafields: You can use product metafields to store additional information about your products, such as the product weight, dimensions, or color options. You can also use product metafields to store custom attributes, such as the product's GTIN or UPC code.

  • Collection metafields: You can use collection metafields to store additional information about your collections, such as the collection's description, keywords, or featured products. You can also use collection metafields to store custom attributes, such as the collection's target audience or price range.

  • Page metafields: You can use page metafields to store additional information about your pages, such as the page's title, description, or keywords. You can also use page metafields to store custom attributes, such as the page's contact information or social media links.

To use metafields in Shopify 2.0 themes, you first need to create the metafields in your Shopify admin. Once you have created the metafields, you can then connect them to your theme in the theme editor. When you connect a metafield to your theme, you can specify where the metafield value will be displayed on your storefront.

For example, you could connect a product metafield called "product_weight" to your theme so that the product weight is displayed on the product page. You could also connect a collection metafield called "collection_description" to your theme so that the collection description is displayed on the collection page.

Metafields are a powerful tool that can be used to personalize your Shopify storefront experience. By using metafields, you can add additional information about your products, collections, and pages to your storefront. At the same time, making the task of updating the storefront less arduous without the help of a developer. This information can then be used to create a more engaging and informative shopping experience for your customers.
