Metafields give you the ability to customize the functionality and appearance of your Shopify store by permitting you to save specialized information that isn’t usually captured within Shopify admin. Use metafields for internal tracking or to display specialized information on your online store in a variety of ways. Within Tapcart, you will need to utilize metafields to set up the ‘Gift with Purchase’ feature. In this article, we will review how to create the metafield that is necessary to set up this functionality.
Metafield Creation

- Select 'More Actions'
- Choose the Metafields option
- Select the arrow next to Create Metafield
- Choose Integer

The metafield will need the following namespace, key, and type:

- Metafield Type: Integer
Once created, enter a metafield value (of type integer) that equals the monetary threshold the consumer carts need to reach to unlock the gift. Please note, values need to be denoted in hundredths of aunty, which in the case of USD would be pennies. For example, to set a threshold of $50.00, the integer value will be 5000.
