This article lists all of the optional Shopify fields available to you through the Solid Commerce platform.
NOTE: The list does not include mandatory fields, which are always communicated to Shopify. We explain the required fields in Creating New Listings on Shopify Using a Spreadsheet.
What we'll cover:
Using Optional Shopify Fields
Solid Commerce uses Product Attribute fields to populate optional fields on your Shopify listings.
If there are any Shopify fields you manage directly on Shopify, or are not interested in using, do not add them to Solid Commerce as Product Attributes.
To use an optional Shopify field:
1) Find the corresponding Solid Commerce Product Attribute Name in the table below.
2) Create the Product Attribute in your Solid Commerce account.
- For more information about creating Product Attributes, please see Creating and Using Custom Product Attributes.
3) Populate the Product Attribute field with data formatted to Shopify's specifications.
We will automatically send the information when we create new listings.
To update an optional field on an active Shopify listing:
1) Revise the Product Attribute field in Solid Commerce.
2) Select the listings you want to update in your My Store Market List and click the Update Listings button.
Table of Optional Shopify Fields
When you create Product Attributes in your Solid Commerce account, copy the Solid Commerce Product Attribute Names from this table.
To use them in a spreadsheet, add product attribute: in front of the attribute name. Do not include a space in between product attribute: and the attribute name.
EXAMPLE: To add Shopify tags to your listing, create a Solid Commerce Product Attribute named: shopify tags. In your spreadsheet, use the column header: product attribute:shopify tags.

Tags are keywords for your products. They help buyers find the products they are searching for. Separate each tag by a comma. For more how to uses tags to create subcategories, see the Shopify Manual. |

If you want to apply a custom template to your product's page, enter the template name in this field. You don't need to include the prefix or the .liquid at the end.

You only need to enter the "suffix" of singleproduct in this field. |

Enter a price that is higher than your current price, such as the MSRP or a competitor's price. Shopify will automatically display this price with a strikethrough. If you do not provide a compare_at_price, we will not push this field to Shopify. |
