# Metafields Product metafields in Shopify are a powerful tool that allow you to add custom fields of data to your products. Metafields enable you to store and display additional information about your products beyond the default fields provided by Shopify. This can be useful for various purposes, such as organizing, categorizing, or adding extra details to your products. ### Getting started {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://erickson.gitbook.io/themes/erickson/faqs/metafields.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
