To display product-specific content while using a single template for all products, you can consider utilizing metafields. Metafields allow you to store additional data for your products, such as images, descriptions, and other relevant information. This approach enables you to maintain a single template while tailoring its content to each product.

If you rely solely on EComposer to insert product-specific images and text into a single template, the content will remain identical for all products.
