I’m looking to have a field to store an HTTP link in each product, and I’m trying to use ‘handle’ field, but it cleans that field, so I can’t use it.
Is there a way for me to add a custom field called “Metadata” onto each product so that it is free flow and I can add my needed URL in there?
If I can’t do that, could you please add a field ‘Metadata’ like that, with about min 500 characters limit, that would be included in the webhook please (ASAP Thanks)
If it’s possible, please tell us a bit more about your use case. Are are you planning to access these URLs via the Reflow API?
At the moment there isn’t a meta/custom field data for products.
The Handle serves as a textual ID for the product, that’s why its cleared when you try to enter a URL. Maybe the Excerpt field can be suitable for this purpose instead, you can enter any string value in it (up to 250 chars).
Just a quick update on this feature suggestion - we’ve added a Custom Data field to products!
You can set the Custom Data of any of your store’s products from the dashboard. It’s value can be any string up to 250 characters. If you need to store an object or JSON, you will need to stringify it first.
The custom data property will not be visible to customers in the Reflow UI (product components, shopping cart, etc) but it can be accessed via the API and webhooks for custom integrations.
One last big hurdle (for me at least), would be a field on each product, that, if checked, would limit it to be the ONLY product in an order! (Thanks @danny)
(Or a GROUP field, that would allow grouping of sets of products limited to one order… that would be even better (if not harder to implement))
