Meta tags

Shopify meta tags, or product tags, are metadata that is used by external search engines, such as Google. Meta tags can be meta titles, meta descriptions, and meta keywords.

Shopify metafields are a way to add extra data to the products with fields that are not native to Shopify. The fields do not appear on the listing, but can be used to reference products internally within Shopify. Metafields are constructed with 4 properties:

• Namespace— Functions as a container for a set of metafields, which helps distinguish between metadata that you created and metadata created by others with a similar namespace
• Key— Identifier for a metafield
• Value— Content of the metafield
• Value Type— String or an integer

To add metafields:

1. Go to > Settings > Select a company > Toolbox > Website > Sellercloud Integrated Website > Shopify Meta Fields.
2. Click the + icon for Add new metafield.
3. Enter the Namespace, Key, and choose a Value Type. (The Value will be added later at the product level, or you can bind it to custom column to send values of a custom column on a product to Shopify as a metafield.)
   1. Check the Add to variant level box to use the metafield on a variation parent.
4. Click Add to save.
5. On a product’s Website properties page, open the Actions menu > click Manage Metafield. to show all current metafields.
6. Enter a Value in the appropriate metafield.
7. Click Save.
8. Click Actions menu > Post Meta Fields to Shopify.
