How to add downloadable files to product page

Store Design

Topic summary

Goal: Add downloadable files to each product variant (SKU = Stock Keeping Unit) so the file changes dynamically with the selected variant.

Proposed approach: Use variant-level metafields and render them on the product page as download buttons. A code snippet was shared showing how to output variant metafields:

  • {{ variant.metafields.global.finish }}
  • {{ variant.metafields.global.dimensions }}
  • {{ variant.metafields.global.product_care }}
    (Note: The code snippet is central to the solution.)

Issue: The requester can’t dynamically bind the link or name to the button and asked for concrete code and placement guidance.

Guidance given: Add the metafield references in theme files; exact placement “depends on theme file structure.” No specific template or section file was identified.

Latest development: The requester offered a small tip for hands-on help; the helper agreed to assist further.

Status: Not yet resolved. Key open items: exact metafield keys for links/names, button rendering logic, and the specific theme files/sections where the code should be placed.

You can use metafield for the variants and call them on product page as download button.

Thanks

Hi, I tried this way but it won’t let me add the link or the name to the dynamic associate with the button.
Is there any code you can help with?
Thanks,

{{ variant.metafields.global.finish }}
{{ variant.metafields.global.dimensions }}
{{ variant.metafields.global.product_care }}

you can use the same structure according to your metafield and add this to your theme files.

thanks
