# How to Make a Shopify Variant Unselectable
If you have product variants that shouldn’t be available for customers to select in the Claimlane flow, you can easily mark them as unselectable using a Shopify metafield.
### Step 1: Go to Metafields Settings
In your Shopify admin, go to:
**Settings → Metafields and metaobjects**
### Step 2: Choose Variant Metafields
From the list of available metafield types, click on **Variants**.
### Step 3: Add a New Definition
Click **Add definition** to create a new metafield for your variants.
### Step 4: Create the “Claimlane Unavailable” Field
Fill in the fields as follows:
* **Name:** `claimlane_unavailable`
* **Namespace and key:** `custom.claimlane_unavailable`
* **Type:** *Single line text*
You can leave the other options as they are.
### Step 5: Add the Metafield Value to a Variant
Now that the metafield is created, you can add it to any variant you want to make unavailable in Claimlane.
1. Go to your **Products** in Shopify.
2. Select the product you want.
3. In the **Variants** section, click the variant you want to make unselectable.
4. Scroll down to **Metafields,** you’ll see the `claimlane_unavailable` field.
5. Add a message like:
> “This product is not available”
### Step 6: See It in Claimlane
Once the metafield has a value:
* The variant will be **unselectable** in the Claimlane flow.
* The text you entered will appear as a message explaining why.
