Product update: Metafields & Rich text editor

A few weeks ago, we introduced Text Styles 2.0, allowing you to add borders, shadows, and more properties to text elements. Today, we’ve launched a revamped version of the Text editor! This update gives you all the flexibility you need to create any text element you want, from bulleted lists to numbered lists and more.

In addition to the new Text Editor, you can now work with Shopify metafields anywhere. Previously, you could only use basic product data, but starting today, you can use Shopify metafields anywhere by simply selecting the dynamic source option of a text element or typing “{{“ anywhere on the canvas.

Metafields are a great way to ensure your product page templates are dynamic. This means that the content on your PDP automatically updates when applying the template to a different product. Plus, all Shopify metafield content works seamlessly with Shopify Markets, making it easy to build localized product pages.
