Product details and metafields

Feed real product specifics in so descriptions are accurate, not invented.

Miko reads everything saved on the product itself, its title, description, price, variants, images, and any product details. Product details are what Shopify calls metafields: extra note fields on each product, like Shipping information, a Size guide, or Material and care. When these exist, Miko weaves them into descriptions and the spoken summary.

  1. In Shopify, go to Settings → Custom data → Products and click Add definition.
  2. Name it what it is (for example "Material and care") and choose the type Multi-line text.
  3. Open any product, scroll to the Metafields section at the bottom, and fill in that product's own text.
  4. Generate again in Miko, and it will use those details automatically.
One thing that trips people up: text your theme shows on every product (like a store-wide "Materials & Care" section added in the theme editor) belongs to the theme, not to any product, so Miko can't read it from there. Saving it as a product detail fixes that.
