New Order Printer to Show Product line item Meta Fields

Hello,

 

We Installed the New Order Printer App (Because the legacy App with be discontinued soon). But when we migrate our templates, it won't show the product meta fields anymore. 

We created a packing slip template to show Bin Locations so we can easily find products when picking.

 

We use the code: {{ line_item.product.metafields.bin_location.value }}

 

Please Help.

 

Thanks

This is an accepted solution.

Wait, usually you use line_item.product.metafields.namespace.key to fetch the metafield and line_item.product.metafields.namespace.key.value  to retrieve its value. Or bin_location is a namespace and value is a key?

Or you've simply forgotten either namespace or key?

 

If value is not a key, but metafield property, after looking at https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/orders/printing-orders/shopify-order-printer/liquid-variables-and... i think maybe you should remove it from your code.

Hello, That is the exact code we use on the old Order printer and it works. Thanks for the link you send it helps me compose the correct code. So I use:

{{ line_item.product.metafields.custom.bin_location }}

and it works in the new Order Printer.

In the legacy Order Printer app, product metafields and their namespaces were not handled correctly, so the workaround line_item.product.metafields.key.value was used (note the lack of a namespace). In the new Order Printer app, this appears to be fixed, so line_item.product.metafields.namespace.key works as documented.

Would it be possible to see what that section of your template looks like for the product and the metafield information? I would love to be able to do the same for our picking lists, I thought it was not possible with the Shopify Order Printer app.
