Each product already has default CMS fields built in such as name, slug, description, image, price, etc. If you would like to add additional information fields (such as ingredients or country of origin, etc.), you can create those here.
Any fields you add in the Product Settings page will be added to the Product CMS collection as a custom field. This allows you to then add this information on your Product Template page and display it to customers.
Any fields you add here are able to be filled in on the product page when editing an individual product (go to the Additional Fields tab).
In CartGenie, go to Products > Product Settings subpage.
Click the “Add New Field” button.
Select the type of field you would like to add to your products. These are the standard Webflow custom field types available:
You can learn more about the types of custom fields here.

Ex for a field of Ingredients: “Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (Aloe Vera), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil…”

Color

Ex for a field named Product Age Range: “Newborn, Infant, Child, Teen, Adult, Senior”

Ex: Related Products
Depending on which type of field you select, you will see a number of different field options to fill in.
Example: here is a Plain Text field panel:
To add values to the additional fields you created in Product Settings, go to your Products page and create a new product (or edit an existing product).
Go to the “Additional Info” tab and you will see your new fields to fill out.
All fields are added as custom fields in your Products CMS collection in Webflow.
To display them on the product page, simply add a text block and then click the purple dot and connect the block to the relevant field.
For example:
Multi-reference field: Webflow requires that you use a collection list block and then connect it to the multi-reference field.
Image Field: You must place an image block to display your uploaded image
Because the cart, checkout, and confirmation product lists are populated dynamically, there won’t be a CMS field for you to connect them to like in the product page. Here is how you add custom fields to your customer’s selected products in these locations:
In Product Settings, open up the field you want to display on your site.
You will see a Custom Attribute section with Name and Value listed.
In Webflow, open your cart, checkout, or confirmation page and inside the item wrapper, then add a new text field right below your product options.
Then in the layer settings, go to the Custom Attributes section and add a new attribute. Use the attribute values provided in CartGenie Product Settings page.
This field will be skeleton-loaded on page load before dynamically pulling in the relevant information. So, the placeholder text you enter should never be seen.
