See every featureAnvil adds custom fields — text boxes, dropdowns, checkboxes, dates and more — to your products, so customers can personalize what they buy. Built on Shopify theme app blocks, your options keep working through theme updates and previews. Switch themes and you re-add the block once; your option sets stay saved. Apply a set of fields to one product, a collection, by tag, or your whole catalog in a single click.
Custom Fields help merchants create flexible product options and personalized shopping experiences directly on the store owner's product pages. Add custom fields like text boxes, dropdowns, radio buttons, checkboxes, color swatches, image swatches, file uploads, and more to collect exactly what customers need to personalize their orders.
- Built to last — options live in theme app blocks, so they survive theme updates.
