Cutline second line

Feature introduced in Broadcast 3.2.0

Add a custom tagline to individual products using metafields. The tagline will appear styled in the product grid on Collection pages and any section using a product grid view:

How to setup

The first step is to add or define a new product metafield. This is a custom metafield you'll create the Settings of your Shopify Admin.

Add a new product metafield

To set up a Cutline, you need to define (create) a new, custom, metafield definition that Broadcast can recognize.

The most important part is to use this namespace and key: theme.cutline

How to create the metafield

To start, navigate to your Shopify Admin -> Settings and choose Metafields from the left panel. Next, click on Products (click images to zoom):

Click the Add definition button to begin. Choose a name, we'll use 'cutline'. Next, we will use a custom namespace. This is required.

A crucial step here is to change the default namespace (usually called 'custom') to theme

Add a description (this is optional) then choose Select content type. Next, choose Text and use Single line text and One value (it's the default option):

Product setup

Now that our custom metafield has been defined, the final step is to edit any of your products in the Shopify Admin -> Products and update the new cutline metafield.

All you need to do is scroll to the bottom of the product setup page and fill them in:

After adding the cutline metafield value, press the Save button to save the product changes.

Now you're ready to preview the cutline text. View on a collection page or any section that uses the product grid layout:

Your cutline text will only appear for this product. You can now add unique cutline text to any product in your store. If a product does not have the cutline metafield text information added, nothing will appear. Only products with a value for the cutline metafield will display that information on a product-gird or collection page.
