Targeting
Field targeting allows you to control exactly where and when your custom fields appear in your Shopify store. This powerful feature ensures that customers only see relevant fields based on the product
Targeting Options
Imagine you have multiple types of products in your store and need to collect different information from customers based on the product type. Or perhaps you only want to display custom fields for certain products or specific collections while hiding them from others. How do you achieve that?
With AC Custom Fields, it’s incredibly easy!
Product Targeting
Control which products display your custom fields:
All Products
When you select "All Products," your custom field will appear on every product page in your store. This is useful for fields that are universally applicable, such as:
Gift wrapping options
General delivery instructions
Customer notes that apply to any product
Specific Products
Target individual products to display your custom field. This is ideal for:
Product-specific customization options
Fields that only make sense for certain items
Special instructions for particular products
To select specific products:
Choose "Specific Products" in the targeting settings
Click "Select Products"
Use the product picker to search and select products
Save your selection
Specific Collections
Target entire collections of products to display your custom field. This works well for:
Category-specific information
Fields that apply to a group of related products
Collection-specific options or add-ons
To select specific collections:
Choose "Specific Collections" in the targeting settings
Click "Select Collections"
Use the collection picker to search and select collections
Save your selection
Geographic Targeting
Control which countries or regions can see your custom fields:
All Countries
When selected, your custom field will be visible to customers from any country.
Specific Countries
Target customers from specific countries to display your custom field. This is useful for:
Country-specific shipping information
Legal requirements that vary by country
Services or options only available in certain regions
To select specific countries:
Enable "Geographic Targeting" in the targeting settings
Choose "Specific Countries"
Select countries from the dropdown list
Save your selection
Customer Segment Targeting
Target specific customer segments to display your custom fields (requires Shopify Plus):
All Customers
When selected, your custom field will be visible to all customers regardless of segment.
Specific Customer Segments
Target specific customer segments to display your custom field. This is ideal for:
VIP customer options
Wholesale customer fields
Segment-specific promotions or services
To select specific customer segments:
Enable "Customer Segment Targeting" in the targeting settings
Choose "Specific Customer Segments"
Select segments from the dropdown list
Save your selection
Combining Targeting Options
You can combine multiple targeting options to create highly specific conditions for when your custom fields appear. For example:
Show a field only for products in the "Jewelry" collection AND only to customers in the United States
Display a field for specific products AND only to wholesale customers
Show a field for all products BUT only to customers in certain countries
Targeting Limitations
Variant-Level Targeting: Currently, targeting is at the product level, not the variant level.
Time-Based Targeting: Scheduling fields to appear during specific time periods is planned for a future release.
Cart-Level Fields: Fields that appear in the cart rather than on product pages require different implementation.
