New to Shopify metaobjects? Here are some key terms to help you get started:
WHAT IS SHOPIFY METAOBJECT:
Metaobjects allow you to create and manage custom data not included in the default Shopify data structure, such as recipes, size charts, FAQs, book metadata, technical product specifications, etc. You can access and modify the data stored in metaobjects from the Shopify admin and display them within your theme.
REGULAR TEMPLATE:
By default, only the "Main product information such as media, price, color swatch" (on product pages) and content section (on pages/blog posts) will be dynamic per product/page. Other sections added to the regular template will display the same content on all products/pages.
METAOBJECT TEMPLATE:
Metaobject templates consist of metaobject sections designed to give your online store a consistent look, and each metaobject-powered section comes with its own unique content per product/page.
