I am looking for a way to allow product dimensions to be selected from predefined options when adding a new product in the Shopify admin panel.
Instead of entering product dimensions manually, I want the seller to be able to choose from a dropdown menu of predefined dimensions (e.g., 100x100, 150x150, 200x200, etc.) while creating or editing a product in the Shopify admin interface.
I am open to using third-party solutions or developing a custom app if required. However, I would like to confirm if Shopify allows such modifications or if there are any recommended approaches to meet this requirement?
Shopify does not natively allow customizing the admin interface to include dropdowns or predefined options for fields like product dimensions. However, there are workarounds and third-party solutions to achieve your requirement:
Approach 1: Using Shopify Metafields
Shopify’s metafields are designed to add custom fields to your products, and they can include predefined options.
1. Define a Metafield with Predefined Options:
-Go to your Shopify admin panel.
Navigate to Settings > Custom Data > Products.
Create a new metafield for dimensions (e.g., product_dimensions) and set the type as a single-line text or dropdown list.
-Add predefined dimension options like 100x100, 150x150, etc.
Add Metafield to Product Creation/Edit Page:
Shopify now supports displaying metafields directly on the product editing page. After setting up the metafield, ensure it’s visible in the product edit view under “Custom Data.”
Use Metafields in the Storefront:
In your theme, you can reference the metafield values using Liquid code to display them where needed
