Creating and Using Shopify Metaobjects - Shopify Tutorial

#shopify #metaobjects #tutorial

Shopify has released a new featured called Metaobjects. These help you add reusable structured content to your store. The metaobject data can be used in themes via Liquid and with the Storefront API. Once you create and populate the metaobjects, you can use the content throughout your Shopify store. Metaobjects are used with metafields for the ultimate content creation system.

Using metaobjects may seem confusing at first but our tutorial is here to walk you though the process. We'll show you how to create the metaobjects, assign them to the metafields and then update your theme to use the custom data. In our video, we'll use metaobjects to create a custom content section that displays the farm where our produce is grown. Take a look now.

Amazing thank you, most of the things i found on the internet were for really advanced users, even shopify`s help section was too much complicated. I understood it with your help. Thank you

Excellent....one there a way to specify metafield directly while uploading product_template.csv? If so, please share.

[jefersonSanchez]

Excellent video, that is definitely powerful

Thanks for the helpful info! We were able to build metaobject pages each showing information about our ingredients. And we were able to list the ingredients on each product page. However, I can't figure out how to show the products on each metaobject page. It doesn't seem possible, but also seems like a likely use case of this functionality. Do you have a tutorial on this?

Hello! Thanks for this awesome video, What about if one of my products doesn't have a metaobject, Would it appear empty? Is there a way of hiding that section when a metaobject is not associated with it?

[diipsecret]

Hello, Thanks very much for the video. Any sugestion How we can see all the Products from Farm A or Farm B. Is there any options that also this is dynamic?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, great video! I have a problem with metaobjects. I created a metaobject for the "text with image" section, linked it to a specific product, but the "text with image" section is also visible in other products, only empty (without content). Will the metaobjects be visible on the product page for each product?

[RapidTurtle]

Hey, thanks for such a useful video!
I see the potential of utilising metaobjects in various ways.

Could you also go through connecting metaobject on the whole block itself?
For example at 9:32, you demonstrated connecting metaobject for required section (ex. Image), but I see that we can also connect metaobject on the whole block itself.
I wonder under which situations that would be required.

Good stuff... but what if you have a list of objects to render for a category for example?

[mujtabamalik]

I want to add different grid images for different products, is it possible with meta-objects?

[StahlFirearmsNo]

Would it be possible to let a user with an account on my website fill in their clothing sizes on their profile and have the website show pricing for their size or preferred color and show if it’s in stock in the quick view for shopping?

Is there also a way to use filters with metaobjects?
