Metafield

Store Design

Topic summary

A user is experiencing an issue where product detail information (description, how to use, etc.) appears identical across all products in their Shopify Sleek theme, rather than being unique to each product.

Root Cause:
Shopify uses a single product template that applies to all products. Adding content directly to the template causes it to display on every product page.

Recommended Solution - Metafields:
Multiple respondents suggest using Shopify’s metafield feature to add dynamic, product-specific content:

  1. Create metafield definitions in Settings > Custom data > Product metafields
  2. Add custom fields for each information type (e.g., “How to Use,” “Details”) using “Rich text” content type
  3. Populate unique content for each product in the Metafields section of individual product pages
  4. Connect to theme by customizing the Sleek theme, adding “Collapsible row” blocks in the Product information section, and linking them to the metafield dynamic sources

Additional Resources:
Users recommend YouTube tutorials from channels like Websensepro and Coding with Jan for step-by-step guidance on implementing metafields.

The Sleek theme is confirmed compatible with this approach as an Online Store 2.0 theme.

Hi,

I have some issues with my Shopify Theme Sleek . In my product page/product information page theres an option to put details information like " description, how to use, etc" but when I put the text info on every one of these, it will repeat the same info to all my other products, and I need every product to have their own different info .

If someone can help me, please!!! Thank you!

It sounds like your product pages are all using the same template, which is why the same information is showing for every product.

To fix this, you’ll need to create different product templates for each product (or group of products with different details), and then assign the appropriate template to each product.

This way, you can customize the content—like description, how to use, etc.—for each product individually.

Shopify works on a template basis, so you have a single template in your case a product template which you customized and all the products will now take the same look and if you add content directly the same content will display for every product.

But not to worry Shopify have already come up with a solution to this long enough with metafields. This will let you add dynamic content to your products. It’s pretty much manual setup, no code required.

Refer to yt for a tutorial and you will find loads of it. Try searching for “adding dynamic content to product page with metafields”.

There will be a lot of them but the channels I like the most are:

Websensepro

Coding with Jan

Etc…

For your issue look for the tutorial of coding with Jan. He explains exactly your issue in one of his tutorial.

Hope this helps

Hi @Hunterrose ,

What you need is to set up metafields - these allow you to create unique custom fields for each product.

Here’s how to fix it:

  1. Create Product Metafields: From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Custom data. In the Metafields section, click Product metafields. Shopify Help Center
  2. Add Definitions for Each Type of Information:
    • Click “Add definition”
    • Name your definition (like “How to Use” or “Details”) and select or enter it in the list
    • The system will automatically create a namespace and key for you (e.g., custom.how_to_use)
    • Select the content type - “Rich text” works well for descriptions Shopify Help Center
    • Repeat this process for each type of product information you need
  3. Add Unique Content to Each Product:
    • Go to any product in your Products section
    • Scroll down to the Metafields section
    • You’ll see your newly created fields where you can add unique content for each product
  4. Display on Your Product Page: You can connect metafields to your theme by adding sections or blocks that support dynamic sources. For example, the Product info section can support product metafields. Shopify Help Center
  5. Connect the Metafields to Your Theme: From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes. Find your Sleek theme and click Customize. Use the drop-down menu at the top to select Products > Default product. In the Product information section, click Add block > Collapsible row. Enter a heading (like “How to Use”). Next to row content, click the Connect dynamic source icon and select your metafield. Click Save to publish. Shopify Help Center

The Sleek theme is fully compatible with metafields as it’s an Online Store 2.0 theme. This solution will allow you to have different information for each product while maintaining a consistent layout.

Let me know if you need any clarification or run into any issues!
