Metafields based on product "Type"

[itslukebond]

On Shopify, is it possible for products to have different metafields based on their assigned type? Some product types will require many metafields, while others will need only a few. What’s the best way to manage this without having a large set of metafields that apply to all product types?

Hi @itslukebond,

Yes, on Shopify, products can have different metafields based on their product type. The best way to manage this is by using Metafield Definitions to assign specific metafields to each product type, ensuring only relevant ones appear. You can also use Dynamic Sources and Custom Product Templates to display only the necessary metafields. For advanced control, apps like Metafields Guru or Accentuate Custom Fields can help. This keeps your setup clean and efficient.
