Shopify Metafields for Dummies

We managed to sit down and write a quick intro to metafields. We've kept it simple and (hopefully) sweet, but it can get much more complicated. That's for another time, but please let us know if you have any questions.

Super quick summary:

• Metafields allow you to add extra information to various parts of your store that aren't covered by the standard Shopify setup.
• They can be associated with products, variants, collections, customers, orders, pages, blogs, and even the shop itself.

For use cases and more, take a look at our blog Shopify Metafields for Dummies.

Feel free to schedule a call with Haris Hodzic , metafields expert and Lead Developer at Accentuate and Shop Circle .

New YouTube Shopping features

YouTube has launched several innovative shopping features that could significantly benefit Shopify merchants and affiliates utilizing the platform. Here are the key new features you should be aware of:

• Shopping Collections: This feature allows creators to curate and showcase products from their own Shopify store or from other brands in a collection. These collections will be visible in the product list, the Store tab, and video descriptions. Initially, this feature is accessible through the mobile Studio App, with desktop access planned for the near future.
• Affiliate Hub: Integrated directly into the YouTube app, this hub enables creators to connect with shopping partners for promotional activities. To qualify, creators need to be based in the U.S. and have a minimum of 15,000 subscribers.
• Tag products across multiple videos at once: Expanding on an existing feature for affiliate shopping creators, this enhancement allows creators to tag their Shopify products and merchandise across their entire video library, increasing visibility and potential sales.

If you're creating content for YouTube , these should be helpful.

Let's chat about your store!

Real experiences from real store owners who are facing real issues or have ideas but feel like they lack the support to make them happen - that's what we need.

Content included in this newsletter is mostly compiled after encountering a store owner and solving an issue for them.

Because the 10th edition is a milestone in its own right, if your issue?or need can be resolved with one of Shop Circle's apps, we'll try to provide it to you for free.

Shop Circle manages 45+ Shopify apps that solve a plethora of issues and limitations. For example, if you already have one app that creates post-purchase upsells, another one that manages reviews, and a third one for metafields - you can have it all in one place at a great price.

Book a free consultation to learn all about our App Stacks and start optimizing your business today.

And a special thank you! As we celebrate the 10th edition of The Circle, we also want to acknowledge a huge milestone: Shop Circle 's 3rd anniversary! Thank you for being a part of our journey.

That's all for this week! ??
