Show a metafield in a tab
Metafields let you save and display specialized information that isn't usually captured in the Shopify admin. For example, a candle seller might want to display a burn time for candles on their product pages, whereas a grocery store might want to display a product expiration date for canned goods. Other examples of specialized information include:
- part numbers
- color swatches
- launch dates
- related products
- blog post summaries
- files for download
- lists of ingredients
You can add metafields to your products, variants, and other parts of your store, directly from your Shopify admin.

- From the Tabs Studio app, go to Shared tabs.
