Shopify Forms Metaobjects

Custom Data
1

How can I access the following metaobject in Shopify? I’m using the Shopify Forms app, and the form data is stored in metaobjects. I tried retrieving the values with this code:
{% assign testimonials = shop.metaobjects.app–123456–example.values %}
Hello - {{ testimonials }}

However, I’m not seeing any output for testimonials.

Hi Mary,

The Shopify Forms metaobjects are not available on storefronts.

Cheers,
Tyler

@Tyler_Rowsell is there a way to make them available on the storefront? That use case of testimonials makes a lot of sense here without needing to pull for a paid app or roll your own…

Hey Rob,

At this time there is no way to enable it on the storefront. The primary intention behind Forms is to collect private data, which is typically not intended for direct public rendering on storefronts.

The team is always looking at ways to expand the product though, so I will take this feedback to them for consideration.

So a Flow to copy a form metaobject to a custom made metaobject?

That sounds like it might need to be the approach used here and for various other use cases of utilizing Shopify Forms for collecting UGC to display to customers.

Ooooo I really like this idea. Gonna have to play around with this in another project.
