Is it possible to store and use a single value site wide in various places?

[hookbeak]

I need to pass a a single value via the api into shopify and store that value.

I will then use that value in numerous places: product pages, pages, snippets etc

Is this possible? I thought of storing it as a pages metafield - but then it's only accessible *on that page*

i can't believe there's no way to have a site wide variable - so what am i missing?

Hi @hookbeak ,

You can create a "global storage" by creating a metafield for shop object

Once a shop metafield is created, you can access its value from pretty much any place. No matter what template file you're editing, a shop metafield is available globally and can be accessed with the code of the following format:

{{ shop.metafields.namespace.key.value }}

By the way, you don't necessarily have to use the API to create a single metafield. You can easily do that with our awesome app (even on the free plan):
