Tell us what you are trying to do?
I created a custom field for woocommerce product. And I want to create a shortcode that allows me to show the value in certain places (like links). So I need to know how to do it.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I coudn't find

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Thanks a lot.

Hi Damian,

Thank you for getting in touch.

If this field was created using our Types plugin then you should be able to display it by using this shortcode below.

[types field='my-field'][/types]

Where my-field is the slug of your custom field.

Thanks,
Shane
