Coffee details
Roost can show roast date, taste notes, freshness, and more. You create those fields once, then fill them on each coffee.

Add fields like:
| Show this on the store | Field type |
|---|---|
| Roast date | Date |
| Ships by | Date |
| Days it stays fresh | Number |
| Tasting notes | List of text |
| Roast level | Text (light, medium, dark…) |
| Brightness | Number |

When Shopify asks for a namespace, use roost so everything stays organized.
2. Fill each coffee
Section titled “2. Fill each coffee”Open a product → scroll to the coffee fields → fill what’s useful. Blank fields simply hide that tip on the store.
3. Origin & brew stories (optional)
Section titled “3. Origin & brew stories (optional)”Under Custom data → Metaobjects, create:
- Origin — farm/region story + photo
- Brew guide — method, ratio, steps + photo
Then link them on each product.
4. Collection filters
Section titled “4. Collection filters”Open the Search & Discovery app and turn on filters for brew methods and roast level.
About grind
Section titled “About grind”Shoppers pick a grind on the product page. It saves on the order as a note, so you don’t need a separate product for every grind size.
