# Product badges with 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: {% embed url="" %} Video walk-through {% endembed %} ## Reference You can use the following reference information to help with the steps covered in the video. ### Metafield definition Create a product metafield with the namespace and key set to: `theme.badge` Set the content type to Single line text, with one value:

### Product setup In the Metafields section of any product that you'd like to use the feature on. Add a value to the badge field. This will become your custom badge when displayed in a collection or section that includes a product grid:

Each product can have its own custom badge label. ## Badge colors Colors are managed in the Theme settings tab under '[Badges](https://broadcast.presidiocreative.com/theme-settings/theme-settings/badges)'. Choose the background color and text color to set for all badges. Sale badges have their own values to help differentiate them from other badges:
