Metafields

Description

Metafields describe your data. They allow you to extend Glide by adding fields to Products, Product Types, Customers and Orders

Example 1: Glide lets you configure all of the fields because they need to make sense for your business. If you sell custom Stickers the material will be very important to you, on the other hand if you're a potter selling custom plates the customer probably won't get a choice about the material.

Example 2: Imagine you sell custom Stickers and you give customers the option to choose a material, then you will add a field to Glide called Material and populate it with the possible options that a customer can buy. Imagine you sub-contract this Order out to a 3rd party, you'll want to add another field called Supplier Material and a list of possible options that you or your designers can then choose.
