"Shopify metafields let you store additional, specialized information about your productsβbeyond what's available in the standard admin fields. Theyβre useful for showing things like material composition, potency, size details, or ingredient breakdowns."
β DECO uses product metafields to generate dynamic labels and badges automaticallyβso all using the same designβjust powered by different metafield values.
ποΈ Common Use Cases
πΏ Cannabis Products
Show THCa flower potency or strain type on product badges
Display CBD/THC ratios dynamically
π―οΈ Handmade Goods
Highlight soy wax percentage for candles
π Skincare Products
Display the exact skin type that the product suits
Based on what's written in-app

Before starting, you need:
For example:
β¨Step-by-step Setup
We'll walk through two use cases:
Show dynamic metafield value if it exists
Show specific metafield values only
π Shared Steps for Both Use Cases
πΉ Step 1: Create or Select Badge
Open DECO app >> Navigate to: Labels & Badges then:
β If you don't have any badges yet: Click "Create badge" >> Choose to create a new Text Badge
β If you already have badge(s): Click the pencil icon to edit an existing badge
πΉ Step 2: Connect Metafield with AutoText
Go to Badge Content β Click AutoText
In the popping list, scroll down & choose: Product Metafields
Then a list of active meta fields will appear, check the box to select >> Click "Select" button to save the change.
Move to the "Products" tab to select the metafield condition
Scroll to the Metafield >> Click + Add Metafield >> Then, choose the same metafield name as you selected in the last step >> Hit on "Select" button
After selecting your product metafield key >> Choose the option: "Exists"
πΉ Step 4: Preview & Verify
The app will automatically scan your products and detect which ones contain the keywords related to the metafield key you selected.
π For those products, it will display the corresponding value on the badge.
Example:
Metafield Key: care instruction
β In this case, any product that includes data in the "care instruction" metafield will automatically show a badge with that value.
(See the image below for a visual example.)
Move to the "Products" tab to select the metafield condition
Scroll to the Metafield >> Click + Add Metafield >> Then, choose the same metafield name as you selected in the last step >> Hit on "Select" button
Choose the option: "Equal to" >> Type in the Product metafield Value in the white box
For example:
πΉ Step 4: Preview & Verify
The app will automatically find products that have the exact metafield value you entered.
π Then show that value on the badge for those products.
Example:
Metafield Key: care instruction
β In this case, any product(s) that include the metafield value "sunlight prefer" will automatically show a badge with that value.
πΌοΈ (See image below for example)
β Quick Troubleshooting
"No data" β Double-check whether those products have the Product Metafield Value assigned yet OR make sure the metafield key selected in AutoText matches the one added in the Metafield section (under the Products tab).
No display β Notice Uppercase/ Lowercase letters (e.g., Linen β linen)
