Need to create 2 separate description sections on my product page

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user wants to add a second description section to their Shopify product pages, specifically to embed social media post code, but lacks coding knowledge.

Proposed Solution:
Use Shopify product metafields to create an additional description area:

  • Setup: Navigate to Shopify Admin > Settings > Custom Data > Product > Add definition
  • Configuration: Create a new metafield with “Rich Text” type
  • Content Entry: Add the second description content through the product’s metafield section in the admin panel
  • Display: Insert the metafield code {{ product.metafields.namespace.key }} into the product template file where the additional description should appear

The solution includes a reference image showing the namespace/key structure. This approach allows non-coders to add custom content sections without directly editing theme code, though template file modification is still required for display.

Hi @sraspa , You can add a second description to your product page template using product metafields. Follow these steps to create and display it:

Create Metafield Definition:

  1. Go to Shopify Admin > Settings > Custom Data > Product > Add definition.
  2. Add a name, description (optional), select type as “Rich Text,” and click Save.

Add Metafield Value:

  1. Navigate to your Products section in the admin.
  2. Open a product, scroll to the metafields section at the bottom, and add your description to the field.

Display on Storefront:

  1. Insert your metafield code in the product section file where you want to show the description.
  2. The code syntax will be: {{ product.metafields.namespace.key }}.
  3. Replace namespace and key with the values from the metafield definition.
