Content Blocks (formerly known as Custom Fields) are used to display additional information about a product on its product page, such as instructions or warranty information. To use Content Blocks, you need to create a Content Block in a product in the product catalog, add a widget to the product page where you want to display the content, then connect the widget to the content block in the product catalog.
Create Content Blocks (Custom Field)
To create a Content Block:
In the side panel, click Sell Online.
Click Store Management, then click Manage products.
Click the desired product to open it.
In the Custom fields section, click +Create Content Block.
Type a title. This cannot be the same as another field, such as the product name or description.
Use the What kind of content is this? drop down menu to select the field type. Currently, HTML/rich text, plain text, and images are supported.
Click Create.
Add content to the custom field you just created.
Click Save.
Once created for one product, it will be available in the edit area for each product. The content block will only display on product pages when there is a value assigned to the content block for that specific product.
Tip
If you want to change the layout of the product page to show several separate images, this can be achieved now with Content Blocks.
Note
Default field names, such as "Image," cannot be reused. Attempting to name a Content Block with a default field name will result in an error.
Only a single image can be added per Content Block. To add multiple images, a Content Block will need to be created for each one.

Connect Content Block to Widget
You need to add a text, image, or accordion widget to the product page to define where you want the content from your content block field to display. The widget added must correspond to the content type of the custom field. For example, if you added a text field, you need to add a widget that supports text (for instance, a text or accordion widget). After adding the widget, you need to connect it to the custom field you created.
To connect a content block to a text or image widget:
In the side panel, click eCommerce, then click Store Pages.
Click Product Page.
In the side panel, click Widgets.
Drag and drop the desired widget onto your Product page.
Right click the widget and select Connect to data.
Use the drop down menu to select the field you created previously.
Click Done.
