Metaobjects in, metaobjects out.
Show Shopify metaobjects anywhere on your site, in Webflow or Astro, and let a form create them. With Shopify Flow on top, that is a backend you don't have to write.
A metaobject is a set of related fields you define in Shopify: a designer, a material, a certification, a review. Smootify reads one or a list, and the Metaobject Creator writes new ones from a form.
What's in it.
Components come with every plan. Add-ons say which plan they need.
Single metaobject
ComponentLoad one metaobject when a page needs specific, structured data.
Metaobject list
ComponentA grid or list of metaobjects from Shopify, in your design.
Metaobject creator
Server add-onA normal form that creates a metaobject in Shopify.
Read moreYour site writes, Shopify keeps, Flow reacts.
The parts most people never find in the docs.
The form is a plain form
Nothing exotic to design. The one rule: each input name matches the field key in the metaobject.
The data lands in Shopify
It becomes a real metaobject: visible in the admin, referenced by products, and read back on the site with the same elements.
Flow does the rest
Shopify Flow starts on “Metaobject entry created”: send an email, tag a customer, update a metafield, call an endpoint. The Flow library has the workflows ready to import.
Moderation built in
data-draft creates the metaobject as a draft, so a review goes live only when the merchant approves it.
Files too
A file input inside the form uploads photos and documents: a receipt, a drawing, a review photo.
Same thing, ten times
Reviews, back-in-stock, price-drop alerts, warranty registration, waitlists, dealer applications, event sign-ups, defect reports, custom quotes, post-purchase feedback. Same mechanism, different fields.
- Input names must match the keys exactly. my-title on the site and my_title in Shopify does not save, and says nothing.
- Create the metaobject definition first. Storefront access to show the entries on the site, Active-draft status to approve them before they show.
- Writing needs the Server plan: the metaobject is created by our server, not the browser.
- Flow is a separate Shopify app. It is free, but it has to be installed.
