Shopify basics for Borders stores

Applies to: Borders 3.1.0 and later. Added in: Borders 1.0.0. Last checked: 2026-10-13 against Borders 3.1.0.

If you are new to Shopify, start with these platform topics. Products, prices, inventory and metafields are controlled by Shopify, not by Borders; Borders shows what you set up there.

Where to find it: Shopify admin, and the Shopify Help Center links below.

Products and collectionsCopy Anchor Link

• Adding and updating products: titles, media, variants and prices.
• Creating product collections: manual and automated collections, which Borders shows on collection pages and in the Featured collection section.
• Bulk edit your products: change many products at once.

Prices, inventory and gift cardsCopy Anchor Link

• Setting sale prices for products: a compare-at price higher than the price makes Borders show the discount badge. See Product card theme settings.
• Assigning inventory to locations: stock decides when Borders shows the sold out badge and the back in stock alert.
• Gift card products and recipient fields: the recipient form is turned on in the Buy buttons block of the Product page.

Templates and metafieldsCopy Anchor Link

• Assigning different page templates to different products: create a second product template in the theme editor, then choose it on the product in Shopify admin.
• Using metafields to feature unique content for your products: the custom data behind dynamic captions, size guides, product siblings and metaobject swatches in Borders.
• Use dynamic sources for unique product pages: connect a block setting to a metafield so each product shows its own content.
• Show variant metafields on the product page: content that changes with the selected variant.
