🔥Edit product breadcrumbs using metafields
Create custom breadcrumbs in Zest for individual products
Why using product page breadcrumb?
Breadcrumb is a type of secondary navigation scheme that reveals the customers’ location on the website.
Breadcrumbs can improve how a user and Google navigate a website, especially if your website has many products or pages.
Furthermore, breadcrumbs have been proven to decrease bounce rates, keeping users on a website longer.
Lastly, the best benefit of breadcrumbs is SEO-boosting. Google bots use breadcrumbs to categorize and contextualize content in search results more efficiently.
How to create custom breadcrumbs
In Zest, you can set a custom product breadcrumbs for each of your products.
See our Changelog.
Steps:
1. Define a Product Metafield in Shopify admin > Settings > Custom data.
Click the button Add definition to create a new product definition.
Use any Name you want, and insert the Namespace and key as 'breadcrumb.primary_collection'.
Select the metafield type as Collection.
Click Save.
2. In the Product setup, select a collection from a list to display a custom product breadcrumb.
From Shopify admin > Products, select a product you want to add custom breadcrumbs.
In the Metafields section, select a collection from your collection list.
Click Save.
3. Enable the breadcrumbs on your theme editor.
Ensure that the option to Show breadcrumbs is checked and the dynamic data source is linked.
Products without a metafield value for the Custom breadcrumbs will display the name of the collection that comes first in alphabetical order (if that product is included in multiple collections).
