Enabling Shopify Metafields

Shopify metafields allow e-commerce merchants to store and display custom information unique to their products, collections, orders, or customers, enabling greater personalization and more detailed content management tailored to their specific business needs. 

Metafields consist of the following:

• Namespace: used to categorize the metafield 
• Key: used to specify the exact metafield 
• Value: the data used to 'do something' 

Metafields are created in Shopify admin and require 3rd parties to request access to this custom data in a particular way. As such, it is required that you complete the steps below in order for our API calls to Shopify to return metafield data.  

Enabling metafields on Tapcart:

1. Navigate to Customizations by clicking on your store name in the header of your dashboard
2. Scroll down to the Metafields section and add the various metafields you'd like to add
3. Enter the namespace and key for your selected metafield
4. Click Save & Update 

Once saved, Tapcart will automatically expose the metafield(s) to the Storefront API for you allowing you to use these for conditional tagging and while building custom blocks.

If you're building a custom block, you need to mock the value to any used metafields by leveraging the variable preview values JSON panel in 'Block Settings'.
