Eligibility & Collections
Eligibility sync timing depends on your catalog size and other factors. It can be near-instant for small catalogs but may take longer for larger catalogs with hundreds or thousands of products. Please continue checking your metafields.
When you reinstall the app, Flex begins syncing each product’s HSA/FSA eligibility directly into your Shopify admin as a read-only product metafield. You can use that data to filter products, build collections, and see eligibility at a glance, with no manual tagging required.
View a product’s eligibility
- Open a product
In your Shopify admin, go to Products and open any product. - Open its metafields
Scroll to the Metafields section, click View all, then More actions → Show read-only metafields. - Find the Flex eligibility field
Look for the Flex HSA/FSA eligibility metafield. It’s populated with one of three values:- LMN: Eligible with a Letter of Medical Necessity (dual-purpose)
- IIAS: Always eligible
- Ineligible: Not HSA/FSA eligible
This field is read-only. The classification comes directly from Flex and can’t be edited in Shopify.
Create an HSA/FSA smart collection
Because eligibility lives on each product, you can build a smart collection that automatically includes every eligible product, perfect for featuring on an HSA/FSA landing page.
- Create a collection
Go to Products → Collections → Create collection, and name it (e.g. HSA/FSA). - Choose Smart collection
Select Smart collection and set the conditions to match any condition. - Add the eligibility conditions
Search for the Flex HSA/FSA eligibility field and add two conditions:Flex HSA/FSA eligibilityis equal toLMNFlex HSA/FSA eligibilityis equal toIIAS
This covers every eligible product and automatically excludes ineligible ones.
4. Save
Click Save. Your collection now stays up to date automatically as Flex syncs eligibility.
Product Badge
The Flex badge shows shoppers that a product is HSA/FSA eligible and educates them on how to pay, right on the product page.
- Open your theme editor
In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes and click Customize on your live theme. - Choose a product template
Use the top dropdown to select Products, then choose the template to edit (e.g. Default product). - Add the Flex badge block
In the Product information section, click Add block, open the Apps section, and add the Flex badge. - Configure the badge
In the right-hand settings, adjust:- Default Eligibility: Legacy setting; you can ignore this or set it to ineligible as a fallback
- Show subscriptions tab: Adds a Subscription tab to the pop-up
- Style: Light or Dark
- Badge Alignment: Left, center, or right
- Badge Width: 250–350px (the badge text scales with the width)
- Custom font size: Override the auto-scaled text (10–32px)
- Custom letter spacing: Fine-tune spacing (0–5px)
- Preview and Save
Preview the product page, then click Save.
If you don’t sync product eligibility to Shopify, you’ll need to create separate product templates for each eligibility type. We don’t recommend this, as it’s more manual to manage.
Educational Pop-up
When a shopper clicks the badge, a pop-up explains how to pay with HSA/FSA. The correct experience is shown based on each product’s eligibility. If you use Flex’s Shopify Subscription Reimbursement Solution, enable the Show subscriptions tab. This adds a second tab to the pop-up with steps for subscription customers to get reimbursed. We recommend all subscription merchants turn this on.
Landing Page Builder
The Flex Marketing App includes pre-built blocks so you can quickly create a complete HSA/FSA landing page. Customize styles to match your theme and publish in minutes.
- Create the page
In your admin, go to Online Store → Pages → Add page. Give it a title (e.g. HSA/FSA) and set the URL handle (e.g.hsa-fsa). Keep it hidden for now. - Create a page template
Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize. From the top dropdown, select Pages → Create template, name it (e.g. HSA-FSA), and base it on your Default page. - Add Flex blocks
