Extended fields

Custom fields (also known as extensions) allow you to add additional information and content to your products, categories, landing pages, blog posts, and static pages. The available fields are defined by your theme and appear automatically in the editing form.

Where can I find extended fields?

When you edit a product, for example , you’ll find extended fields in the Extensions section of your theme. This section only appears if your theme has defined fields for that content type.

Field Types

Depending on your theme, you may encounter the following field types:

• Text — Single-line text field
• Long text — Multi-line text field
• Text Editor — Field with formatting (bold, italics, links, etc.)
• Number — Numeric field
• Checkbox — On/off field
• Color — Color picker
• Date — Date picker
• Dropdown — Select from a list of options
• Multiple selection — Select multiple options using checkboxes
• Image — Upload a single image
• Images — Upload multiple images with drag-and-drop sorting
• Repeatable Elements — Add multiple sets of fields (e.g., testimonials or FAQ entries)

Typical examples

Extended fields are often used for:

• YouTube video — Specify a YouTube video ID to display on the product page
• Badges — Add custom badges such as “Bestseller” or “New Collection”
• Accessories — Specify related products to display as add-on options
• FAQ — Add frequently asked questions directly to the product page
• Specifications — Add technical details in a structured format

Supported content types

Extended fields can be used on:

Exporting Extended Fields

Extended fields for products are automatically included when you perform a full JSON export of your products. You can find the export in the menu under Products → Import/Export → Export (json).

In the export file, the fields are located under `extension_data ` for each product. Each field contains the field’s title, type, ID, and value, and image fields are included as complete image URLs.

If you retrieve products via the REST API, you’ll receive the extended fields in the same format. A system capable of reading the fields from the API can therefore also read them from the export file.
