Collapsible Files Row

The Collapsible Files Row section allows you to display downloadable file links inside an expandable row on the product page. A key advantage of this feature is its dynamic metafield connection, ensuring that file links update automatically when a variant is changed.

You can connect metafields at the variant level, so the file changes with each selection, or at the product level, keeping the file consistent across all variants. The section supports up to three files, each with a customizable label—if no label is set, the original file name with its extension will be displayed.

This feature is ideal for providing product guides, spec sheets, certificates, or downloadable resources in an organized and user-friendly way.

How to Set Up a Collapsible Files Row

1. Create a File Metafield:

• Go to Settings > Custom Data and choose Products or Variants (depending on whether the file should change per variant or remain the same for the product).
• Click Add definition, name it (e.g., Single file).
• Select File as the type.
• In Validations, choose Accept all file types and save.

2. Assign Files to Metafields:

• If using Product metafields, go to the Product Metafields section, upload a file, and save.
• If using Variant metafields, open the variant, scroll to the metafield, upload a file, and repeat for other variants.

3. Add the Block in Theme Editor:

• Open Shopify Theme Customization and navigate to Products > Product Template.
• Add the Collapsible Files Row block inside the Product Information section.

4. Configure the Block Settings:

• Set a Heading and Icon (optional).
• Add custom file labels (optional).
• Enter the metafield namespace and key (e.g., custom.single_file).

5. Save and Test the setup to ensure the file updates correctly when switching variants.
