How to add theme metafields
The theme includes several custom metafields designed to extend product functionality and improve store presentation. These metafields are:
Countdown – Displays a countdown timer on the product page, typically used to highlight limited-time offers or promotions.
Featured Badge – Adds a customizable badge or label to emphasize special products, such as “New,” “Hot,” or “Limited.”
Grouped Gallery – Displays product images linked to the selected variant only, allowing customers to view images relevant to their chosen option.
Small Description – Provides a short text field for a brief product summary, displayed in compact layout on Collection Page in Listing view. Firstly, you should enable it in Theme settings -> Product Cart -> SECTION SETTINGS, Show small description
Each of these metafields can be created in the Shopify admin just like any other custom metafield.
