When the data from the Custom Fields is not appearing when linked to the Products Template in Webflow’s eCommerce Hosting, there are a few possible reasons and solutions to consider.

  1. Data Binding and Template Setup: Ensure that the Custom Fields are correctly set up and linked to the Products Template. Double-check that the field binding is correctly defined in the template, so it can pull the relevant data.

  2. Empty or Unpublished Data: Check if the Custom Fields have been populated with data. If they are empty, the information will not appear on the live site. Additionally, make sure that any changes or updates made to the Custom Fields are published to reflect the latest data on the website.

  3. Conditional Displays: Ensure that there are no conditional displays preventing the data from showing up. Conditional displays can be set up in the Designer panel to specify when certain elements or data should be visible. Make sure there are no conflicting conditions that could be impacting the display of Custom Field data.

  4. Visibility Settings: Verify that the visibility settings for the Custom Fields are appropriately configured. In the Designer panel, check if the elements associated with the Custom Fields are set to be visible. If visibility is set to hidden or if interactions are causing elements to be hidden, the data will not be displayed.

  5. Caching and Refreshing: Clear the cache and perform a hard refresh on the browser. Sometimes, cached data can prevent the changes made to the Custom Fields from being visible on the live site. Clearing the cache and performing a hard refresh can help ensure that the latest data is being loaded.

  6. Webflow Hosting Configuration: If none of the above solutions resolve the issue, consider checking the Webflow Hosting configuration. Sometimes, there might be specific settings in the hosting environment that impact the visibility of Custom Field data. Reach out to Webflow support for assistance in troubleshooting and resolving any hosting-related issues.

By systematically checking these potential causes and applying the corresponding solutions, you should be able to resolve the issue of the Custom Field data not appearing when linked to the Products Template in Webflow’s eCommerce Hosting.
