    You need to know which template to target, usually templates that have pagination in Shopify are: collection, blog, search.

    So you should be able to do something like this in theme.liquid:

    {% if template.name == "collection" or
  template.name == "blog"
%}
  <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
{% endif %}

    This ^ is very generic so if you want to be more specific, you can check for the page object (collection, product, page, blog, article, etc…) handle:

    {% if collection.handle == "example" or
  page.handle == "example" or
  blog.handle == "example"
%}
  <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
{% endif %}

    It would be better to let Google crawl pagination URLs, using a self referencing canonical for each. As soon as you add nofollow you block the bots. That can cause problems.
