Product.type but with full Taxonomy path metafield?

Shopify Discussion

Hello fellow Shopify’ers,

Bit of a random question and I suspect the answer is no but I’m trying to find the key to getting the full Taxonomy path out from Shopify’s new 2.0 Product ‘Type’ field.

For example, product.type might resolve to ‘Dog Beds’ but i’m trying to get the full path that might be:

Pet Supplies > Dogs > Dog Beds

Has anyone found this, it seems to available through the api but I need the metafield equivalent. From digging around it seems Shopify can handle a full path through a CSV upload and the API update shows it as fullname https://www.shopify.co.uk/partners/blog/shopify-api-release-january-2022

Thanks for any help on this :slightly_smiling_face:

It can be retrieved as fullName in the following query. But it seems you might be looking for something different? Not sure what you mean by the Metafields equivalent?

{
	product(id: "gid://shopify/Product/6911064408086") {
		title
		standardizedProductType {
			productTaxonomyNode {
				name
				fullName
				isLeaf
				isRoot
			}
		}
	}
}

Hi @CloudlabSam

Thanks for the reply, that’s the api method I was referring to in my question. By metafield I may have mislabeled and perhaps liquid variable would be a better term, something you could call in liquid, so calling ‘product.Type’ would resolve as ‘Dog Bed’ but I’m trying to get the ‘fullname’ that the api can provide.

Annoyingly I cannot edit the post to change the subject for better clarification :disappointed_face:

Got it - that makes sense. I’m sure you looked here as well, but it doesn’t look like that’s available anywhere in the liquid model - https://www.shopify.com/partners/shopify-cheat-sheet.

I’m not familiar with how quickly they update the liquid objects to reflect the underlying model. My guess is that there is some lag, but someone with a better grasp on the historical changes in liquid could answer better.

@CloudlabSam , It’s always the way with Shopify, you get so close then find it’s only half implemented, I’ll keep looking but I get the feeling it’s going to be a dead end.
