It is important to note that adding OG meta tags to Shopify product descriptions may require some coding knowledge or the use of third-party apps. Here's an alternative method to add OG meta tags using liquid code in Shopify:

1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel and click on "Online Store" in the left-hand menu.
2. Click on "Themes" and then select the "..." button next to your active theme.
3. Choose "Edit code" from the dropdown menu.
4. In the theme editor, look for the "product-template.liquid" file under the "Sections" folder. If it does not exist, check for a similar file like "product.liquid" or "product-customizable.liquid".
5. Open the desired product template file and locate the HTML section that contains the description.
6. Inside the description HTML, find the appropriate location to insert the OG meta tags. Generally, this is within the tags of the HTML.
7. Insert the following liquid code within the tags:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

{% if template == 'product' %}
  <meta property="og:title" content="{{ product.title }}">
  <meta property="og:description" content="{{ product.description | strip_html | strip_newlines }}">
  <meta property="og:url" content="{{ canonical_url }}">
  <meta property="og:image" content="{{ product.featured_image | img_url: 'medium' }}">
  <meta property="og:type" content="product">
{% endif %}

1. Save the changes made to the file and ensure that the OG meta tags are now included in the product description HTML.
2. Repeat this process for any other relevant product template files or other pages that require OG meta tags.

Remember to adjust the liquid code and markup according to your specific requirements. After making the changes, make sure to test your changes by sharing a product on Facebook or Twitter to ensure that the OG meta tags are being displayed correctly.
