Use cases

Metafield列表允许你存储和显示通知ation unique to your business. Use metafield lists to show additional products that compliment the customer's selection, lists of ingredients, or for more powerful storefront filtering. You can dynamically show richer content across your entire catalog, which helps your customers make better purchasing decisions on your store.

For example, a clothing boutique might want to allow customers to filter options by season. Instead of the search returning products with a single value of "Spring" or "Summer", multiple seasons can be added to a single product (for example, a sweater that's perfect for both Spring and Summer). When a customer searches for Spring clothing, the perfect sweater will be returned as a result because the product has both "Spring" and "Summer" as metafield values.

You can use metafield lists to list the ingredients in your products. For example, a bakery might want to display a full list of ingredients in a cake. You can list all the ingedients as single-line text fields, and then display them on your storefront in aTextorRich Textsection or block.

Metafield lists can also be used to augment customer data. Create a list of preset color choices ("rose", "navy", "magenta") for your customers, and store the results in the customer's profile. Use the data to wrap the customer's purchases in their favorite color of gift wrapping for a special touch.
