Display company metaobject for loggued in customer

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

A B2B store owner is attempting to display a custom company metafield (custom.commercial_b2b) containing contact person names to logged-in customers on their homepage using Liquid code. Despite using what appears to be correct syntax for accessing a single-line text metafield with one value, nothing displays on the frontend.

Code attempted:

{% if customer %}
{% assign company_metaobject = customer.metafields.custom.commercial_b2b.value %}
<p>{{ company_metaobject }}</p>
{% endif %}

Key details:

  • Theme: Dawn
  • Metafield type: Single line text, one value (not list)
  • Target location: Homepage
  • The same code works correctly in a test environment

Current status: The issue remains unresolved. The helper confirmed the code structure is correct and successfully tested it elsewhere, suggesting the problem may lie in the metafield definition or store-specific configuration. Without collaborator access to inspect the actual store setup, remote troubleshooting has reached its limits. A direct call was proposed for further investigation.

Hi !
I have a B2B website and I try, with custom Liquid, to show to loggued in customers the name of their contact in my company.

I have created a custom company text metafield (custom.commercial_b2b) in which i can, for each company, enter the name of the person they need to contact.

There is the code I tried to show this custom metafield content on the front of my store :

{% if customer %}
{% assign company_metaobject = customer.metafields.custom.commercial_b2b.value %}
<div>
<p style="font-size:20px; text-align:center;font-weight:bold" >{{ company_metaobject}}</p>
</div>

{% endif %}

Could you please help me ? I have searched in many topics but i don’t get where I’m wrong.

Thanks !

Hi @WebSO ,

Would you please confirm if you have created a metafield or a metaobject because each has a different ways to access the values?

Hi !

I’ts a metafield.

4

okay great,

on which page you are trying to show this value?

can you give me the collaborator access so that I can analyze the problem in more detail?

5

It’s on my HP.

I don’t have the authorization to give you this access unfortunately

6

okay no worries.

Just let me know on which page you are trying to show this metafield and which theme you are using?

7

I have tested your code on my own store and it is displaying the value correctly.

So there might be a problem with the definition of your metafield.

Have you defined it as a Single Line Text?

Also have you selected One Value option while creating metafield or List of Values option?

8

Yes and one value! I’m using Dawn theme, and i want to display it on my homepage

9

Hmmm, that’s weird as it should work.

Have you checked the value by creating and logging in to customer account?

What is displaying in that field?

10

Nothing is displayed
