How can I edit individual product pages without changing other pages.
Do I have to create a theme for each product, then assign each product with it’s own individual theme?
I’d like to change these highlighted areas on each individual product with different info for each.
Hi @BKDT
While creating individual page templates is the most straight forward option, you can instead consider using metafields. For embedded video content that is unique for each product, you will most likely need to use a custom liquid section on your product page with the metafield details. If you are new to metafields, I found a great tutorial (written and video) you can review to try this out on your own store.
How to Embed a Video to Shopify Product Page (using metafields for code)
Shopify - 4 Ways to Add Unique Video to Each Product - Basic to Adv. w/ Metafields - YouTube
I am not a dev myself but this tutorial is considered advanced. I will share what worked for me when I tested this out on my own store:
I followed all the same steps in their tutorial, the only thing I changed is what I added into my custom liquid section in the theme file and what URL I added to the metafield details within the product.
Instead of inserting the entire youtube embed video code into the metafield details inside the product, I added that into the metafield section on the product page itself. Adding the metafield reference in place of the “SRC” URL.
Custom liquid code, referencing product metafield source:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="{{ product.metafields.custom.embed_video.value }}" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
Metafield data inside the product details was just the source URL from the original embed code.
While I understand this can come across as fairly complex, give the tutorial above a try. If the video isn’t embedding properly then see if you can make the alterations I shared here. Lastly, if you still need help with this I recommend hiring a developer or expert to help you make these custom product pages.
