Set up Apparel

Some of Apparel's sections read data you keep on your products — a drop's date, a formula, a fit. A theme cannot create that structure for you, so this page lists every definition the theme reads, exactly as Shopify asks for it. It is generated from the theme itself, so it never asks for one the theme no longer reads.

In this order

1. Create the metaobject definitions first, in Settings → Custom data → Metaobjects, with the fields listed below. The product metafields that list entries point at them.
2. Create the metafield definitions in Settings → Custom data → Products (and Variants, where the table says so), with the namespace and key exactly as written and the type shown.
3. Fill them in on each product, in the Metafields panel at the foot of its page in Shopify admin.
4. Open the theme editor. The sections that read them show the data at once; a section that still has nothing to show says what it needs, in the editor only.

Metaobjects to create

The type must match exactly; the name is yours. Give each definition storefront access, or the theme cannot read its entries.

Metafields to create

Namespace and key must match exactly. Give each definition storefront access, or the theme cannot read it.

• hullara.drop_numberOn products

  Single line text single_line_text_field

  The drop's number — 014 — on the release board, the hero, the card and the product page.

• hullara.drop_opens_atOn products

  Date and time date_time

  When the drop opens. Before it, the product reads "Opens …" with a countdown and a reminder form instead of a buy button.

• hullara.restockOn products

  True or false boolean

  Marks a drop that comes back, so the board says "Restock" rather than a new number.

• hullara.accentOn products

  Color color

  The product's own color, behind its card or a bento tile when those settings ask for it.

• hullara.colourwaysOn products

  Product (list of products) list.product_reference

  The other colors of a product, when each color is a product of its own; Colorways links them.

• hullara.colourwayOn products

  Single line text single_line_text_field

  This product's own color name in that list.

• hullara.badgeOn products

  Single line text single_line_text_field

  A word on the product's card — Organic, New — in every language: translate it in Translate & Adapt. A badge:Organic tag reads the same in every language, because Shopify does not translate tags.

• hullara.ships_onOn products

  Date date

  A pre-order date: the delivery estimate counts from it rather than from today.

• custom.fitOn products

  Integer number_integer

  Where the product sits on the fit scale, from -2 (runs small) to 2 (runs large).

• custom.lastsOn variants

  Single line text single_line_text_field

  How long the chosen size lasts — "about six months" — under the size buttons.

Written by an app

These you do not create: the app named fills them in, and the theme reads them when it does.
