Dynamic Sources

For sections and blocks contained within a JSON template, merchants have the option to link one or more dynamic sources to settings, depending on the type of setting.

Dynamic sources can be:

Metafield values
Resource attributes

Note

Dynamic sources are not applicable to general theme settings.

Available Values

SHOPLINE determines the values for each type of available dynamic source based on:

The resources associated with the template where the section is located
The resource settings in the current setting context

For example:

Condition	Description
Section as part of a product template	Metafields and attributes associated with the product will be accessible for: Section configuration; Block configuration within the section
Section as part of a collection template	Metafields and attributes associated with the collection will be accessible for: Section configuration; Block configuration within the section
Current section or block contains product settings	The product's metafields and attributes will be available for section or block settings
Current section or block contains collection settings	The collection's metafields and attributes will be available for section or block settings

The table below displays the available resources along with their respective attributes:

Resource	Attributes
product	title vendor
collection	title

Note

More resources and resource attributes will be available in the future.
