This article explains how to add product metafields/attributes to products on your quiz's results page.

ShopifyShopify (Legacy)WooCommerce

Note

The app can only sync and show the string, single_line_text_field, multi_line_text_field, date, and number product metafields. Rich_text_fields metafields are not currently supported.

Metafields in Shopify are used by stores to display specific product properties that aren't shown by default on e-commerce platforms. For instance, in Germany, it's required to show the "grundpreis" or per 100ml price for cosmetic products. Metafields make this possible.

In the 💎Built for Shopify version of the RevenueHunt app, the process for adding and displaying metafields is streamlined. Follow the steps outlined below to import product metafields from your store into the Product Recommendation Quiz and display them on your quiz's results page:

Step 1: Enable Metafields Display

To enable the display of metafields for individual products:

1. Navigate to the Results Page tab in the Quiz Builder.
2. Add a Product block and open its settings.
3. In the Product components layout, click + blockand add the Metafieldsection.
4. From the Select metafield section, select the metafield you want to display.
5. Alternatively, you can add a Text block to your product layout and add the metafield value manually as a content dynamic source to make it part of a block of text.
6. Save the changes with the top-right Save button.

From now on the selcted metafiled will be dynamically displayed in the product block as part of the recommended product.

Tip

If you're missing custom metafileds from the list of available metafields, you can force a catalog sync:

1. Go to App Settings > Catalogue.
2. Click the Import catalogue button to trigger a manual sync.

Note

The app can only sync and show the custom text product metafields.

If you're looking to import product metafields from your store into the Product Recommendation Quiz to display them on your quiz's results page, follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Enable Metafields Display

First, enable the display of metafields for individual products:

1. Navigate to your Results Page Settings > Basic.
2. Open the Individual Product Settings section.
3. Activate the show metafields toggle.

Step 2: Open App Settings

Open App Settings > Catalogue to access the settings to manage your catalog.

Step 3: Select Metafields

Select the Metafields namespaces you want to sync with the app by clicking the toggle icon next to each.

Step 4: Sync the Catalog

Update your catalog with the new metafields by triggering a catalog sync from your dashboard.

Step 5: Implement Custom JavaScript on the Results Page

To display the metafield values on your results page, custom JavaScript is required:

1. Your developer will need to write custom JavaScript code to render the metafield value in the desired location on the results page.
2. This customization falls outside the support scope of our app.

Here's a sample code that replaces the product description with the descriptors-subtitle metafield. This code should be added in the Custom JavaScript input under Results Page Settings > Advanced Settings:

window.recommendedProducts = prq.recommendedProducts();
var products = document.querySelectorAll('.lq-product');

for (let i = 0; i < products.length; i++) {
  let id = products[i].id;
  let oneId = id.match(/^\d/) ? ("#\\3" + id.charAt(0) + " " + id.substring(1)) : "#" + id;
  let product = window.recommendedProducts.find(product => product.id === id);

  if (product.metafields['descriptors-subtitle']) {
    let toEdit = document.querySelectorAll(oneId + ' .lq-hcont');

    for (let j = 0; j < toEdit.length; j++) {
      if (!toEdit[j].hasAttribute("edited")) {
        toEdit[j].insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', '<span>' + product.metafields['descriptors-subtitle'] + '</span>');
        toEdit[j].setAttribute("edited", "true");
      }
    }
  }
}

  let product = window.recommendedProducts.find(product => product.id === id);

  if (product.metafields['descriptors-subtitle']) {
    let toEdit = document.querySelectorAll(oneId + ' .lq-hcont');

    for (let j = 0; j < toEdit.length; j++) {
      if (!toEdit[j].hasAttribute("edited")) {
        toEdit[j].insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', '<span>' + product.metafields['descriptors-subtitle'] + '</span>');
        toEdit[j].setAttribute("edited", "true");
      }

How to Use Metafields as Smart Collections

ShopifyShopify (Legacy)WooCommerce

Shopify allows you to use product metafields as conditions when creating smart collections.

Smart collections from metafields

Check official Shopify documentation for more information: Smart collections from metafields.

This is useful if you want to organize products by custom attributes (like Skin Concern = Acne or Subscription Eligible = True) and then connect those collections to your RevenueHunt quiz.

Supported Metafield Types

You can use the following product metafield types in smart collections:

• Single line text
• Single line text (list)
• True or false (boolean)
• Integer
• Decimal
• Rating

Step by step guide:

1. Create Product Metafields: In Shopify Admin, go to Settings → Custom data → Products.

   • Click Add definition.
   • Select a supported metafield type (see above) and add a clear name (e.g. Skin Concern, Organic Certified, SPF Rating).
   • Save the metafield definition.

2. Add Metafield Values to Products: Open a product in Shopify Admin. Scroll down to the Metafields section. Enter the value for the metafield you created. Example: Skin Concern = Acne. Repeat for all relevant products.

3. Create a Smart Collection Using Metafields: Go to Products → Collections.

   • Click Create collection.
   • Choose Automated collection.
   • Under Conditions, open the field dropdown and select Product metafields.
   • Select your metafield (e.g. Skin Concern).
   • Define the condition (e.g. equals → Acne).
   • Save the collection. Now, Shopify automatically groups products based on metafield values.

4. Use Smart Collections in RevenueHunt: Open your quiz in the RevenueHunt app. Edit a question and add a Choice. Instead of linking individual products, select the Shopify collection you created. Example: Quiz answer “Acne-prone skin” → Collection Skin Concern = Acne. Save and publish your quiz.
