Introduction to POS Receipt Metafields
In February, Shopify introduced a new code editor for printed POS receipts, empowering businesses to customize layouts and content using Liquid, our open-source template language. Now, we've expanded this feature to include enhanced metafield integration.
What’s New in Version 9.7
With the latest update to the POS app (version 9.7), brands can now leverage five types of metafields directly in receipt templates. This enhancement boosts customization and lets businesses tailor receipts like never before.
Supported Metafield Types
- Product Metafields: Display additional product information, such as materials or care instructions.
- Variant Metafields: Include unique details for product variants like size, color, or model.
- Location Metafields: Specify store location details or other contextual data.
- Customer Metafields: Personalize receipts with customer-specific data, such as loyalty points balance.
- Order Metafields: Add order-specific notes or custom details for a more personalized shopping experience.
How This Benefits Shopify Merchants
By integrating these metafields into POS receipt templates, merchants have greater control over the customer experience. Whether providing richer product descriptions or personalized messages, this improvement strengthens brand identity and customer satisfaction.
