PDP Templates

Last updated: August 5, 2025

Feature Overview

PDP Templates allow you to create tailored Product Detail Page layouts for different types of products—without writing any code. Whether you’re selling skincare, electronics, or fashion, you can design unique PDP experiences that showcase the most relevant content for each product type.

Using tags and reusable content blocks, PDP Templates let you deliver personalized shopping journeys while managing everything from a single dashboard.


Configuration

App-Side Capabilities

  • The platform supports multiple PDP templates that can be applied dynamically based on product tags.

  • Templates are built using a set of design blocks (e.g., media carousels, FAQs, testimonials, rich text).

  • These blocks are rendered automatically on the app based on product tags assigned in Shopify.

  • You can display:

    • Offer sections using metafields or Metaobjects

    • Return & refund summaries

    • Videos (directly embedded into the PDP)

    • Size charts using tags or metafields

    • Promo text based on tags (e.g., below the product price)

    • Product highlights using icons and image list blocks

    • Frequently Bought Together via metafields

    • Back in Stock, Volume Upsell, and Scarcity Counters

PDP Templates are compatible with product metafields, Metaobjects, Shopify tags, and supported integrations like reviews and express delivery.

Studio Dashboard Setup (If Enabled)

You can fully manage PDP Templates through the Appbrew Studio dashboard.

To Create and Assign PDP Templates:

  1. Build a Template

    • Go to Studio > Pages > Product Detail Pages

    • Add or edit a template using the drag-and-drop editor

    • Add blocks like Rich Text, FAQs, Testimonials, Image Lists, etc.

  2. Map Templates to Product Tags

    • Navigate to Settings > Integrations > PDP Templates

    • Use tag-based mappings like:

      {
        "skincare": "skincare-template",
        "gadgets": "tech-template",
        "makeup": "beauty-template"
      }
      
      
  3. Tag Products in Shopify

    • In your Shopify admin, assign matching tags to products (e.g., skincare, tech)

    • These tags will automatically trigger the corresponding PDP template in the app

  4. Use Shopify Metaobjects (Optional)

    • For reusable content like FAQs, ingredient lists, or testimonials, you can connect metaobjects to the PDP blocks

    • Example: A "Serum FAQ" metaobject can be linked to all serum products

Troubleshooting / FAQ

1. Why is my product not using the expected PDP template?

  • Ensure the product tag in Shopify exactly matches the tag mapped to the template in your dashboard

  • Double-check for typos or extra spaces in the tag name

2. Can I change the order of blocks in a template?

  • Yes. Use the Studio’s drag-and-drop editor to reorder or remove blocks at any time

3. Can one product use multiple templates?

  • No. Each product can use only one template, determined by the first matching tag

4. Why is my metafield-based content not showing?

  • Verify that:

    • The metafield is populated in Shopify

    • The corresponding block is included in the template

    • The field type is supported (e.g., text, file, product list)

5. Can I preview the templates before publishing?

  • Yes. Use the Preview mode in Studio to view the PDP layout before making it live

6. Are reviews supported on PDP?

  • Yes, if your review provider offers mobile-compatible APIs. Note: Judgeme has limited support on mobile

7. Can I show videos or size charts for specific products only?

  • Yes. Add video blocks or size chart sections conditionally based on tags or metafields

8. Can I add a “Why Choose Us” section or product USPs?

  • Yes. Use rich text blocks or image lists mapped to metafields to display this content.
