# Configure product custom fields

[Back to the main guide](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/stores/create-edit-product/)

**Custom fields** stores key/value metadata for an individual product. Use it when your project or integration has a defined metadata contract.

## Find Custom fields

Open the product and choose **More actions → Custom fields**. This entry is in the product’s action menu. It is separate from the store’s custom fields and from customer-selectable options.

## Add a field

Choose the expected field type, enter the key and value, then use the add control. Reopen the product to confirm the field before relying on it.

## Choose appropriate metadata

Use only keys and values that the project or integration expects. Confirm who can read them before entering internal data. Keep credentials out of product metadata.
