Here only **Namespace and key** is the critical for us. **Name** and **description** could be anything to define the action to us.

Name: Hide Products From Shopify Search

Namespace and key: seo.hidden

Description: Hide active products from Shopify Search

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please ensure that namespace and key is the exactly same with above.
{% endhint %}

Then click Select Type and choose Integer and save it.

**Now apply this metafield to our add-on product:**

Please go to products -> scroll down to see Metafields section and write 1 in there and click the save button.
