Add custom product badges to individual products easily using metafields
Feature introduced in Broadcast 3.2
Broadcast makes adding custom individual product badges or also known as stickers, very easy to implement and manage by using metafields.
When utilizing metafields, you simply create one metafield to activate the functionality. From there, you can add badge text to any of your products, and Broadcast will automatically generate a custom badge for that product on collection pages or any section using a product grid.
How to set up
If your shop is using Broadcast v3.2 or higher, you can easily use this feature. The following quick video shows you how to set up the custom metafield and how to use it with products:
