Use global variables for anything that does not change per product. They are your single source of truth for company-wide content.

Add a key and value

support_email) and the value you want it to resolve to.What you can use them for

Tips
- Keep keys descriptive.
shipping_promiseis easier to recognize thansp1across dozens of formulas. - Chain variables. Globals can reference other globals, so a single edit can cascade everywhere.
- Treat them as your source of truth. When shipping terms, policies, or contact info change, update once and let it propagate.
