Adding non-display Custom Fields to a Product

[Gogender]

I am hoping to find a way that will allow me to add custom non-display fields to a product.  Currently, there are fields for price, cost, SKU and others. I need to add a few more and make them so they do not show on the product page.  This would be static data unique to each product such as my Supplier, My Suppliers URL, etc.  This is so when I get orders, I don't have to figure out which supplier and supplier item I need to order (i am drop-shipping).  Anybody got a clue?

I think it would be pretty difficult to add something that to each product, @Gogender. There really isn't a way to update how we store product data so it would store extra information. Maybe you could work out a system to include that as part of the SKU. For example, you could keep a Google sheet with a list of codes for each supplier and their URL, and then have that code as part of the SKU.

I need to track info such as the product source URL, and Brand.  The URL is a problem. I have been successful in modifying the HTML of the Product Template but cannot find where i can add new attributes to a product. Any ideas?

It wouldn't be possible to tie that into product creation and management without work by our engineers to support additional fields. My solution above would work for including any kind of information with the product SKU, though, provided you came up with a coding system for each type of info to add to the SKU.

It seems doable considering there's a database supporting the products which can already export a csv, no? I'm sure much harder things have been asked of the engineers.

Thanks Adam.  Yep, that would be the external workaround. I was hoping to keep it all in Weebly
