I would like to retrieve metafield names in shopify. I know I can retrieve and display the values stored in a metafield with {{product.metafields.custom.key}} but is there a way to retrieve the name of the metafield as seen in the shopify backend?
Unfortunately, the name in the backend is purely descriptive and can't be access from liquid. You can take a look at this page for all the things you can access on an object's metafields.

I am trying to access shopify product metafields same like products getting with rest-api and also i am using shopify-api npm package to get metafields but we are receing empty metafields array
enter image description here
enter image description here
Please help me to resolve that..
There are a couple of potential reasons. One, perhaps that product actually has no metafields. Or two, perhaps your API has no permission to read the metafields assigned to the product.
A sure fire way for you to establish if your code is working or not, is to use your API key to write a metafield. Verify it exists. Then use your code to read the metafield you created. With that, you know your code is working.
Stencil provides access the Custom Fields of a Product in a template file as documented in Product Other Details
{{product.custom_fields}}
{{#each custom_fields}}
<li>{{name}}: {{{value}}}</li>
{{/each}}
How do I access the MetaFields that are created in the Product API
POST /catalog/products/{product_id}/metafields?
Product metafields aren't currently surfaced as a Stencil property. Their original purpose was to store metadata against the product object for backend apps (data like shipping origin for ShipperHQ), so they're available via the REST API but not exposed on the front end. If you wanted to access metafields on the frontend, you could build out middleware (using a serverless function, for example) to call the API and pipe that data to the storefront.
It would be good for us to understand your use case better though. Do you want to display metafield values in the template, or base some kind of frontend logic around their values?
While one cannot natively display product metafields in Stencil, there is an app in the Bigcommerce marketplace that allows one do to so. The app also lets one view, create, update, and delete metafields for products, categories, variants, and brands. You can export metafields and import them with a csv file. The app is not free, however, there is a 7 day free trial. This answer is to give an alternative solution to the problem mentioned.
We have created a Shopify app in which user can search for products of his own store by typing first 3 characters of product title. Products will be shown in a dropdown based on his search.
Now the problem is, how we can enable the search system to search directly from product search api?
We checked product search api on shopify but information is limited.
Can anyone help in this please?
Is simple, make your api call thus:
GET /admin/products.json?title=your_product_title
I am working on shopify and my requirement is to add some extra information of user and I did that following this link :-
http://docs.shopify.com/manual/configuration/store-customization/communicating-with-customers/accounts-and-newsletters/capture-additional-information-in-the-account-registration-form
But now I want to know how to get values from customer[note][label] field in my liquid code.
Like I am able to get customer's name using {{customer.name}} which is store in customer[name] field but unable to get values from customer[note][label] field.
customer.note is not exposed via the the customer Liquid object. It is currently only available via the Shopify API. This is because customer notes are not meant for displaying in your store, they are for shop owners to manage customers in the admin area. An alternative is to use metafields instead.
Relevant discussions on the Shopify forums:
Accessing Customer Note in Account.liquid template
how to access to the customer.note with Liquid
I'm a first-time Shopify developer looking for a way to let customers enter additional data about themselves in Shopify. Specifically, I'd like to add a page or modify the account info page so the customer can enter measurements. I'd then like to take that measurement information, process it, and return a recommended size for products in the shop.
Is this possible in Shopify? I am trying to figure out how to add metafields for customers to record their measurements, but I'm a bit lost.
This should work, but would require a fair bit of customization on the merchant's part and is a bit of a hack:
When a customer is logged in their info is available through Liquid.
This allows you to reference that customer's data when rendering shop pages, e.g. a Product page.
You can assign Metafields to customers using the API. These are also available through Liquid.
Putting this all together, you can have a form on the shopfront asking the customer for info once they're logged in. The form submits to your server where you add the info to the Customer object as Metafields using the API. Then you have some clever Liquid on the Product page that either does the necessary calculations itself or embeds the relevant info into javascript to be processed client-side.
