Are there any plans to have a ‘Order’ reference field on metaobjects?
Hey Paul,
Can you describe the use cases this would unlock for you?
Hey @Liam-Shopify,
Sure - we have a client that’s wanting to manage ‘redemptions’ of a sort through Shopify. We’d represent each redemption as a metaobject, and we’d like to have a back reference to the Order that contained the LineItem that’s ‘tied’ to the redemption. It’s obscure, but would mean we don’t need to create a fully app to handle their somewhat unusual use case - it could all be handled from a data architecture perspective using metaobjects and the Storefront API.
Thanks - this will be helpful for us to evaluate investment to support this. I’ll raise this as a feature request to our team.
We use Metaobjects for purchase orders and use each object as a reference on the PDP for Pre Order. The metaobject contains a date so we can render “you’re product will be shipped in week x”. Now we track the metaobject with cart attributes so we can update the count on the metaobject. Would be nice to link it to an order as well.
Then if a shipment delays, you have the orders (and contact data) directly available.
