I'm attempting to add some logic in Customer.io, which uses Shopify's Liquid markup language:
{% if customer.Campaigns Participated > 0 %} I also saw that you participated in a campaign, which is awesome!
If you have a second, I'd love it if you could tell me what it was that made you sign up?
{% else %}
I see you haven't had a chance to participate in your first campaign - can I ask what happened?
{% endif %}
The problem is that it doesn't recognize the "Campaigns Participated" property due to the space...
Is there any way I can escape this space or something?
Thank you
customer.['Campaigns Participated'] is your only hope.

{% if cart.total_price >= 500000 %}
<div class="cartMSG">You got a free Gift</div>
{% endif %}
How can I show a list of products (like a recipe) on a article page.
Can you give me some guidance on what should i use to achieve that behavior?
How can i link those products dynamically to the article?
Getting the products once we know what they are
There are two ways to bring up products on an arbitrary page in Shopify:
1) Using all_products[handle]
Using the product handle to get the product from the all_products global object.
Example:
{% assign ingredient = all_products['lavender-oil'] %}
This works well for small numbers of products, but for large numbers of products it may cause delays in page-loading times. We are also limited to only 20 (I think) calls to all_products per page, so this wouldn't work for recipes with a ton of ingredients in them.
2) Using a collection
Use a collection that contains only the products required. You can reference any arbitrary collection if you know the collection's handle. When making collections, you can also sort products manually to control the order that they appear in when you loop through it. Collections can contain an arbitrary number of products, and I believe the default pagination will give you is either the first 20 or 50 products if you don't specify any other limit. If required you can adjust the number of products served to as high as 1000 by wrapping your collection-product loop with paginate tags (though that upper limit is definitely not recommended for performance reasons)
Example:
{% assign ingredients = collections['love-potion-number-9'] %}
{% for product in ingredients.products %}
<h2>{{ product.name }}!!</h2>
{% endfor %}
The downside for both of these is that you can't write Liquid code inside your article content in Shopify, so this ingredients section would need to be written as a snippet or a section in your theme files and included in your article template used for these recipes.
This leads me to consider the next issue - you would want to include a concept of quantity with the ingredients, and so far neither of the above give us that. So now, the hard part:
Getting that information into a Liquid snippet/section in the first place
There are a few different ways that I can think of offhand that would help you out here. No one is perfect, unfortunately.
Using Metafields
Metafields are a great tool available in Shopify, but unfortunately Shopify doesn't make them easy to use [1].
Once you have a metafield-editing tool, come up with a naming structure for the 'namespace' and 'key' values. For example, you might create the following metafields for the recipe you provided. (Note: How these would be entered will depend on what metafield-editing tool you're using)
namespace: 'ingredients', // We'll use this as the 'box' that holds all our ingredients
key: 'juniper-berry-oil', // This will be the product handle for the product in question
value: '2 drops' // The quantity used for the recipe
namespace: 'ingredients',
key: 'rosemary-ct-camphor-oil',
value: '1 drop'
namespace: 'ingredients',
key: 'cypress-oil',
value: '1 drop'
... (etc) ...
Then, in your theme file where you are creating your ingredient list, you would have code that looks something like this:
{% assign ingredients = article.metafields.ingredients %}
{% for ingredient in ingredients %}
{% assign handle = ingredient.first %}
{% assign amount = ingredient.last %}
{% assign product = all_products[handle] %}
<!-- HTML code here -->
{% endfor %}
Using Tags and Products
If you create a tag-naming scheme, you can loop through those and use them to build your ingredient list. For example, if you give the article a number of tags in the form ingredient_[product-handle]_[amount], you would be able to reference them as:
{% for tag in article.tags %}
{% if tag contains 'ingredient' %}
{% assign breakdown = tag | split: '_' %}
{% assign handle = breakdown[1] %}
{% assign product = all_products[handle] %}
{% assign amount = breakdown | last %}
<!-- HTML Code -->
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
The downside to this method is that there's no easy way to reorder the tags if done this way - using a collection will give you better control of that.
Getting recipe amounts into a Collection loop
The easiest way to reference a collection would be to have a collection with the same handle as the article - then you can reference the collection and its products as:
{% assign ingredients = collections[article.handle] %}
{% for product in ingredients.products %}
<!-- HTML Code here -->
{% endfor %}
This has the advantage of letting you easily sort the ingredients by setting the collection to have a Manual sorting method, but the corresponding downside is that there's no obvious place to put the quantity information.
One way to get that information in would be to use either tags or metafields - metafields would have the advantage of being able to directly access the quantity for the product - if using the naming convention above in the metafields part of this answer, you could use:
{% assign ingredients = collections[article.handle] %}
{% for product in ingredients.products %}
{% assign amount = article.metafields.ingredients[product.handle] %}
<!-- HTML Code here -->
{% endfor %}
If using tags, you would need a format that could be split up like in the tag section and loop through all your tags each time to find the one for your product. If your tags were set up as ingredient_[product-handle]_[amount]
If using tags, you would need a format that could be split up like in the tag section and loop through all your tags each time to find the one for your product. If your tags were set up as the example above:
{% for tag in article.tags %}
{% if tag contains 'ingredient' and tag contains product.handle %}
{% assign amount = tag | split: '_' | last %}
{% endif %}
<!-- HTML Code -->
{% endfor %}
Hopefully this helps you get going!
[1] Using Metafields: There are several possible solutions for editing metafields in Shopify - my personal preference is the 'Shopify FD' extension for Chrome, but the recent updates to the Shopify admin screens are interfering with this extension's ability to load & show its metafield panels on some pages. I know that product pages still work, but some pages (like collections) don't anymore.
There are also a number of apps available for your store to edit metafields - I haven't used any of them, so I can't speak to their value, but you can view the list here: https://apps.shopify.com/search?q=metafield&st_source=
If you have a coding background, you can also create and update metafields yourself by sending the right data to Shopify's Admin API - see the documentation at https://help.shopify.com/en/api/reference/metafield if you want to try doing it yourself.
Here is a sure to succeed recipe. Write your Article. It will have a handle, unique to it. Save that in your head, clipboard, etc. Now create a manual collection. Give it the same handle. Now you can reference an empty collection by the Liquid:
collection['some-handle-to-an-article']
What if you now filled that collection with the products in your recipe? Eureka. Genial! You can then list them in a simple Liquid for next loop like this:
{% for product in collection['some-handle-to-an-article'] %}
{{ product.title }}
{% endfor %}
Or you could be a smarty pants and gather the handles of the products manually yourself. Store them in a metafield resource assigned to the article. For example, a string like 'a-blah,b-blahblah,c-zigo-von-goober' and then use Liquid to find that metafield in the article template. Split that string by commas. Now use the most excellent all_products like this:
{% assign fizzbuzz = all_products['a-blah'] %}
{{ fizzbuzz.title }}
And there are many more creative options. Shopify Liquid is ripe for play like this. No limits, except on all_products at 20... you cannot go more than that.
I am looping through all collections, and creating a preview item with each collection title, image and link. But I have 15 collections I would like to exclude.
Currently I am using 'contains' to exclude the 15 I don't want, but am wondering if theres a cleaner way to write this since its a really long if condition.
Thanks in advance!
Example below:
{% for collection in collections %}
{% if collection.title contains 'collection-1' or collection.title
contains 'collection-2' or collection.title contains 'collection-3'
or collection.title contains 'collection-4' or collection.title
contains 'collection-5' %}
{% else %}
// build item here
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I would create an array of exclusions and check to see if my exclusion array contains the collection in question. (And rather than the title, I would use the collection handle as the handle is guaranteed to only be 'clean' names and guaranteed to be unique)
Example:
{% assign collection_exclusion_array = 'collection-1, collection-2, collection-3, collection-4, collection-5' | remove: ' ' | split: ',' %}
{% for collection in collections %}
{% if collection_exclusion_array contains collection.handle %}
{% continue %}
{% endif %}
{% comment %} Build items here {% endcomment %}
{% endfor %}
How it works:
We cannot directly create arrays in Liquid - we can only make one by taking a string and using the split filter to create our array.
By using handles, we guarantee that our list values only contains letters, numbers and hyphens - there's no chance that our delimiter (in this case, the comma) can accidentally show up as part of the value.
We don't want spaces to be part of the array values, so we remove them before we use the split filter. We could instead just not put spaces between each value, but in my brain that reads like a terrible abuse of grammar. Either omitting spaces the first time or removing them after creating your string will work.
Now that we have our array of exclusions, when we loop through collections we can check to see if the current collection's handle shows up in the list.
If found, skip to the next collection using the continue statement - this saves a layer of indentation since we don't have to have an empty if followed by an else that contains everything that we want to do.
And there you go! Hope it helps :)
NB: For more information on handles in Shopify, see https://help.shopify.com/en/themes/liquid/basics/handle
An alternate method to achieve your exclusions:
If you give your collections some sort of flag that indicates that they shouldn't show up in your collection loop, you can manage each collection directly, rather than maintaining a separate list.
If we look at the collection page in your admin, though, we don't get a lot that's helpful: all we see are things like title, description, etc. Not even a place to give the collection a specific tag!
Fortunately, collections are able to have metafields - Shopify just has that feature hidden from normal users. Metafields allow you to create additional information for objects in your store (products, collections, pages, etc.), which you can then reference through Liquid.
You can read more about Shopify's use of metafields here: https://www.shopify.com/partners/blog/110057030-using-metafields-in-your-shopify-theme
My previous favourite plugin for accessing metafields was ShopifyFD, a browser extension that would let you view and edit that metadata right on your collection page, but unfortunately Shopify's recent changes to the admin have broken that plugin. The author is working on a new version, but it's not ready at the time of writing: https://freakdesign.com.au/blogs/news/shopifyfd-and-the-current-case-of-the-broken-tool
(Note: I haven't tried any of the other metafield-editing tools listed in the above linked article - when ShopifyFD started having trouble, I started doing my metafield editing using the admin API and creating/posting the requests myself: https://help.shopify.com/en/api/reference/metafield)
Once you have a way to easily set metafields (which, surprisingly, seems to be the hard part right now), your for-loop logic is extremely simple. Let's assume that the metafield you create for this purpose has the namespace 'preview' and the key 'exclude':
{% for collection in collections %}
{% if collection.metafields.preview.exclude %}
{% continue %}
{% endif %}
{% comment %} Do stuff! {% endcomment %}
{% endfor %}
This will now skip any collection that has any value set in your custom field, so if you change your mind about any current or future collection all that needs to change is the one metafield on the collection itself.
I'm looking to hide a specific product in Shopify from all customers except those with a certain tag on their account.
I was going to use the app Lockdown but it's been discontinued.
So far everything I've learned says that I use something like this:
{% if customer.tags contains 'Bundle' %}
{% include 'product-to-be-shown' %}
{% endif %}
That second line is where I'm stuck, I think I'm on the right track but I'm not entirely sure.
Any guidance is appreciated, even if that guidance takes me an entirely route to get the solution I'm looking for.
Close.. but no cigar...
On your product template... use this instead...
{% if customer.tags contains 'Bundle' %}
Show this product as usual.
{% else %}
Politely tell this customer there is nothing here for them
{% endif %}
That is all any lockdown or other wholesale App does anyway... absolutely nothing special...
I have some items in my shopify store that have similar themed items that compliment it well.
I know I could just add an <a href link in there, but I'd like to do something that is actually part of liquid, and would also be easier for my non-programmer partner (who also has the authority to make me sleep on the couch :-( ...) to add these links. Is there a way to add a link using the liquid formatting? Something like This would go great with ${items.ellington-coffee-table-set}!?
It would be great to be able to access a product like this collections.my-collection-handle.products.my-product-handle, but unfortunately it is not possible to get a product by its handle in liquid.
You would have to loop through the collection to find the product like this:
{% for product in collections.my-collection-handle.products %}
{% if product.handle == 'my-product-handle' %}
{{ 'my product' | link_to: product.url }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
But that looks pretty messy if all you want is a link to the product, and you still have to hard-code the product's handle. This would be simpler:
{{ 'my product' | link_to: '/products/my-product-handle' }}
Still not ideal, but probably a better alternative than coding an <a href=... link manually.
