How to Add Washing Instructions for each Product as Text and Icon like the attached Photo (Kalles)

Technical Q&A
1

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a way to add a drop-down menu (similar to the product description field) for washing instructions on each product page (I’m using Kalles Theme). The washing instructions vary from product to product, so I need this field to be customizable for each item. Ideally, I would like to display text alongside an icon (like the photo) that corresponds to the washing instruction (e.g., hand wash, machine wash, etc.).

Is there a way to create a custom field or section in Shopify that achieves this? Any guidance or app recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Omar1994 :waving_hand: Use metafield definitions and dynamic sources:

If your business depends on shopify spend a weekend going through the manual it saves a ton of time , money and frustration.

An advanced theme customization is required if a theme doesn’t support dynamic sources in a specific section/block or subfeature setting. Or doesn’t have some way to reference a metafield using liquid ({{ product.metafields.custom.instructions.value }}). Or static custom-html in the visual theme editor.

Merchants that need this customization can contact me for services.

ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.

Hey :waving_hand:

You can do this with metafields + Liquid, but it can get a bit complex depending on the theme.

I built a small app that lets you add washing/care symbols per product and display them automatically, no coding needed.
