Step 1: Retrieve the product Liquid snippet

Find the product whose SEO configurations you want to modify:

  1. Navigate to Ecommerce from the main menu.
  2. Select Products.
  3. Find the product you want to modify and select its Edit row action link.
  4. Navigate to the product's 'Metadata,' 'Open Graph,' or 'Schema' tab depending on the configuration you are implementing.
  5. Scroll to the 'Liquid Snippet' section at the bottom of the active tab.
  6. Select the snippet to copy the code to your clipboard.

Placing these snippets in the <head> ensures that search engine crawlers and social media bots can detect your metadata immediately upon landing on the page.

Viewing the event stream of a product
