How to configure a detailed product page in Bubble.io: Step-by-Step Guide

 

• Begin by creating a new data type, 'Product', in your Bubble.io database. Add all the relevant fields that you want to display on the product page such as name, price, description, images, etc.

 

• Go to the Bubble.io page editor and create a new page for displaying your products. You can name this page 'product'.
• In the page editor, set the 'Type of content' to your Product data type. This configures your page to be dynamic, which means it can show different products based on the URL.

 

• Ensure each product in your database has a unique identifier called a 'slug'. For instance, if you have a product like a baseball cap, give it the slug 'baseball-cap'.
• This slug will be used in the URL of your product page making it human-readable (e.g., https://www.your-app.com/product/baseball-cap).

 

• Drag elements such as text, images, and any other components you require onto your product page.
• Use dynamic data to fill these elements with the details of the Product data type. For example, you can display the product's name, price, and images by linking each element to the corresponding field in your database.

 

• If a product doesn't have a slug, you can configure a backup field for the URL, like the product's name. Bubble will automatically append a unique ID to the field to ensure the URL remains unique.

 

• Title your page meaningfully and include keywords relevant to the product you are displaying.
• Add a meta description and use alt tags for images to improve accessibility and search engine indexing.

 

• Preview your page with different products to ensure that the content loads correctly and the URL structure is intact.
• Once satisfied with the configuration, deploy your changes to make the product page accessible to your users.

 

Remember to keep URLs consistent and avoid changing the slug often, as search engines may penalize for frequently changing URLs. Following this guide will help you create a product page that is both user-friendly and optimized for search engines.
