User Guide of PrestaShop Custom Product & Category Meta Details

Updating/Editing meta fields of multiple products one by one manually can be tedious and time-consuming.

Thanks to PrestaShop Custom Product & Category Meta Details, now you don’t have to navigate through each product and category to update meta fields.

This extension allows store owners to update PrestaShop meta information such as meta title, meta keywords, and meta description for multiple products and categories at once.

In default PrestaShop, you have to go through each product page, find the SEO section, and update each product one by one.

This extension can be of great help for PrestaShop stores that have a large number of products.

Also, once you are done updating the meta details of products and categories, you can preview how these details will be visible on search engines.

Note: The Meta Keywords field has been removed in PrestaShop versions 9 and above. Therefore, it will only be available for PrestaShop versions below 9.x.x.
