# How do I show different content per product?
Use this approach to display product-specific information — size charts, care instructions, material notes, or any other content that varies per product — without duplicating your template.
Avante supports **dynamic metafield sources** in Collapsible tab and Pop-up blocks. If a metafield is empty for a product, the block hides automatically.
***
### Option 1: Metafield per product
Use this when each product needs **its own unique content** — e.g. different size charts for different product categories.
#### **Step 1: Create a metafield definition**
1. Go to **Shopify Admin → Settings → Metafields and metaobjects → Products**
2. Click **Add definition**
3. Fill in:
* **Name:** e.g. `Size chart`
* **Namespace and key:** e.g. `custom.size_chart`
* **Type:** select **Multi-line text**
4. Save
{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip:** Create one metafield per content type — e.g. `custom.size_chart`, `custom.care_instructions`, `custom.materials`. Each gets its own tab on the product page.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="danger" %}
**File metafields (PDF, image) don't work as dynamic sources in Collapsible tab blocks** — this is a Shopify OS 2.0 limitation. Workaround: create a **Rich text** metafield and paste the PDF URL as a hyperlink inside it. The link will render as clickable text in the tab.
{% endhint %}
***
#### **Step 2: Fill in content for each product**
1. Go to **Shopify Admin → Products** → open a product
2. Scroll to the **Metafields** section at the bottom
3. Find your metafield (e.g. `Size chart`) and enter the content — supports tables, images, and formatted text
4. Save
Products where you leave the metafield empty will not show that tab.
***
#### **Step 3: Connect the metafield to a block in the theme**
1. Open **Theme Editor → Default product template**
2. Inside **Product overview** section, click **Add block**
3. Choose **Collapsible tab** (or **Pop-up** for a modal style)
4. Set the **Tab name** (or **Line text**) — this label is always visible, e.g. "Size chart"
5. For **Text**, click the dynamic source icon `<>` and select your metafield
***
#### **Result**
Products with the metafield filled show the tab with their specific content. Products where the metafield is empty don't show the tab at all.
***
### Option 2: Shopify Page as content source
Use this when **multiple products share the same content** — e.g. one size chart for all T-shirts, another for all hoodies.
1. Go to **Shopify Admin → Online Store → Pages** → create a page with your content (e.g. `"Packaging"`)
2. In **Theme Editor → Product overview → Collapsible tab block**, set **Content source** to **Page**
3. Select your page from the list
You maintain one page and all connected products stay in sync automatically.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** One page = same content for all products using it. For per-product differences, use Option 1.
{% endhint %}
***
### Option 3: Static content (same on every product)
Type your content directly into the **Text** field. No metafield or page connection needed — the same text will appear on every product using this template.
{% hint style="warning" icon="lightbulb" %}
**Tip:** You can combine both — add static text in the **Text** field AND connect a **Page** for richer content. Both will display together in the same tab.
{% endhint %}
***
### Which option to use?
| Situation | Use |
| -------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Different content per product | Option 1 — Metafield |
| Same content shared across multiple products | Option 2 — Page |
| Same content on all products | Option 3 — Static text |
| PDF file to display | Option 1 — Rich text metafield with PDF link |
***
### Need a completely different page layout?
If you need different **blocks and sections** per product — not just different content — create separate product templates.
See [Product templates](/docs/avante-themes/templates/default-product.md) for the full guide.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://staylime.com/docs/avante-themes/faq/products-and-variants/how-do-i-show-different-content-per-product.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
