Binding in the editor
- Click field → Dynamic source (database icon) → choose metafield.
- Types must match (text↔text, image↔image, URL↔URL, datetime↔datetime).
- Variant metafields don’t bind via dynamic source; requires custom logic.
Image & media standards (summary)
- Products: 1:1 or 3:4; upload 2400px long side.
- Collection hero: 2400×900.
- Hero slideshow: 3840×1600.

- JPG for photos; PNG/SVG when needed. Poster images for video. Keep hero assets ≤ 700 KB.
Performance & accessibility
- Responsive images (
image_url) are automatic; still pre-compress large assets. - Avoid SEO/Schema apps that duplicate JSON-LD.
- Alt text: short, literal, human-first.
- Headings: do not restructure for “SEO tools”; Scout uses an accessible outline.
- Check focus states, keyboard access, color contrast.
