Using Videowise with metafields

In this article, we will discuss metafields, how to set them up, and how to use them with Videowise

First, let's see how metafields are created.

In order to create a metafields, go to your Shopify dashboard -> SettingsCustom Data → choose the part of your store where you want to show the metafield (Product Page, Collection, Page, Blog, etc…)

Now the is Metafield created and you can add it as a dynamic source to your sections.

Note: To embed a Videowise widget using dynamic source your input type should be text or inline_richtext; we recommend using the text input type (you can learn more about Shopify input settings).

Go to the specific template where you want to update the data and select the section where you have text or inline_richtext input; if your theme doesn’t support that get in touch with our customer support by chat or email.

Click Connect dynamic source and select the metafield you created.

Note: at the moment Videowise blocks support only the html input type.
