How to Display Metafields in Shopify Store?

Shopify is a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. It offers users a customizable platform, an easy-to-use checkout process, and a wide range of features.

One of the great things about Shopify is that it allows developers to add their own customizations through “metafields.” Metafields are bits of extra data that can be attached to products, customers, orders, and other objects in Shopify. This data can be used to add additional information to your store, or to customize the behavior of your shop.

If you’re a developer who wants to add metafields to a Shopify store, there are a few things you need to know. In this article, we’ll cover how to display metafields in Shopify, how to style text using HTML tags, and how to use metafields to customize your shop.

First, let’s take a look at how to display metafields in Shopify. To do this, we’ll need to edit the code of our theme.

The best way to do this is to create a new file in our theme called “product-meta.liquid.” This file will contain the code that we need to output our metafields. Here’s what that code looks like:

{% if product.metafields.my_namespace.my_key %}
   {{ product.my_key }}
{% endif %}

In this code snippet, we're checking to see if a product has a metafield with the namespace "my_namespace" and the key "my_key." If it does, we output the value of that metafield. You can change the namespace and key to match the ones you've created for your store.

Once you've added this code snippet to your "product-meta.liquid" file, save it and upload it to your theme. Then, open up a product page in your shop and take a look at the source code (you can do this by right-clicking on the page and selecting "View Page Source"). You should see your metafields outputted in the source code.

Now that we know how to display metafields in Shopify, let's take a look at how we can style text using HTML tags. To do this, we'll need to edit our "product-meta.liquid" file again and add some HTML tags around our metafield output.

{% if product.my_key %}

   <b>{{ product.my_key }}</b>

   <u>{{ product.my_namespace2.my_key2 }}</u>

   <p>{{ product3.metafiled3 }}</p>

    ..etc.

 {% endif %}

In this code snippet, we've added < b >, < u >, and < p > tags around our metafield outputs. This will cause our text to be bolded, underlined, or put into a paragraph respectively.

Save your file and upload it to your theme again. Then open up a product page in your shop and take a look at the source code (you can do this by right-clicking on the page and selecting "View Page Source"). You should see your metafield values wrapped in HTML tags.

Conclusion:

Now that you know how to display metafields in Shopify and style text using HTML tags, you can start adding customizations to your shop! Metafileds are a great way to add extra information or customize the behavior of your shop.
