Displaying Sanity content in Shopify

Sanity Connect syncs your content as metafields and metaobjects in Shopify. Shopify can host custom webpages for each of your metaobjects based on a theme template.

When you host pages on Shopify, the page URL is derived from your metaobject's handle. With this update, you can now customize the handle for your metaobjects.

On the Metaobjects tab in Sanity Connect, you can enable a setting to 'Use slug as handle.' When enabled, your metaobject's handle will be the value you have set in a slug-type field that you have configured on your document in Sanity. The first slug field found on the document is used. If there is no value for a slug field, then the handle defaults back to the Sanity document ID.

Sanity Connect syncs your content as metafields and metaobjects in Shopify. Two new tools let you troubleshoot issues when syncing data between these two platforms.

If we encounter an issue syncing content from Sanity to Shopify, an error log will appear on the Metafields or Metaobjects tabs within the Sanity Connect application. This error log will identify the individual documents that encountered an issue and what prompted the syncing issue.

The 'Edit Type' action allows you to resolve most type inference issues. This automatically converts the Shopify data types for string fields (between single_line_text_field and multi_line_text_field) and number fields (between number_integer and number_decimal).

We're extending our Shopify integration to sync your Sanity documents and fields as Shopify custom data. Custom document types will sync as metaobjects. Custom fields on Products, Product Variants, and Collections will sync as metafields.

These metaobjects and metafields are available in your Liquid and Hydrogen-based Shopify storefronts.
