Show variant metafields for selected variant

Display variant-specific metafields when a shopper selects a variant on the product page. This uses Alpine's x-show to conditionally render content for the active variant and can be added via a Custom liquid section.

Replace custom.short_description with your metafield namespace and key. Ensure the metafield exists on each variant you want to display.

1. In the theme editor, add a Custom liquid section to your product template.

2. Paste the snippet below and adjust the markup/metafield as needed.

3. Save and preview. Switch variants to see content update.

{% for variant in product.variants %}
  <div x-show="current_variant_id == {{ variant.id }}">
    {{ variant.title }}
    {% if variant.metafields.custom.short_description %}
      – {{ variant.metafields.custom.short_description }}
    {% endif %}
  </div>
{% endfor %}

Notes:

• current_variant_id is managed by the theme's Alpine state and updates on selection.

• Duplicate the inner block to output multiple metafields.
