Market level product variant Metafields

This document outlines the structure and usage of market-specific metafields for product variants. These metafields enable market-specific order limit tracking, and shipping information display.

1. Market Preorder Count Metafield

Configuration

• Key: market_preorder_count

• Type: json

• Namespace: restockrocket_production

• Owner: Product Variant

Purpose

• Tracks the current number of preorders for a variant per market

• Used for market-specific inventory management

• Automatically updated when orders are processed in different markets

• Stored as a JSON object mapping market IDs to counts

Accessing in Liquid

{% assign market_preorder_count = product_variant.metafields.restockrocket_production.market_preorder_count.value | json %}

Example value of market_preroder_count =>
{ 
  "market_id_1": 1,
  "market_id_2": 5,
  "market_id_3": 3
}

2. Market Preorder Max Count Metafield

Configuration

• Key: market_preorder_max_count

• Type: json

• Namespace: restockrocket_production

• Owner: Product Variant

Purpose

• Sets the maximum number of preorders allowed per market

• Controls market-specific inventory policy switching

• Triggers blocking orders when count reaches max in specific markets

• Stored as a JSON object mapping market IDs to maximum counts

Accessing in Liquid

{% assign market_preorder_max_count = product_variant.metafields.restockrocket_production.market_preorder_max_count.value | json %}

Example value of market_preorder_max_count =>
{ 
  "market_id_1": 10,
  "market_id_2": 15,
  "market_id_3": 10
}

Example Usage: Market-Specific Preorder Count and Max Count

{% assign variant = product.selected_or_first_available_variant %}
{% assign market_counts = variant.metafields.restockrocket_production.market_preorder_count.value | json %}
{% assign market_max_counts = variant.metafields.restockrocket_production.market_preorder_max_count.value | json %}
{% assign current_market = shop.market.id %}

{% if market_max_counts[current_market] %}
  {% assign current_count = market_counts[current_market] %}
  {% assign max_count = market_max_counts[current_market] %}
  {% assign spots_remaining = max_count | minus: current_count %}

  {% if spots_remaining > 0 %}
    <div class="preorder-availability">
      <span class="spots-left">{{ spots_remaining }} spots remaining in your market</span>
      {% if spots_remaining < 5 %}
        <span class="low-stock-warning">Almost sold out in your region!</span>
      {% endif %}
    </div>
  {% else %}
    <div class="preorder-full">
      Preorder limit reached for your market
    </div>
  {% endif %}
{% endif %}

3. Market Shipping Text Metafield

Configuration

• Key: market_shipping_text

• Type: json

• Namespace: restockrocket_production

• Owner: Product Variant

Purpose

• Stores market-specific shipping/delivery timeline text

• Allows different shipping information per market

• Stored as a JSON object mapping market IDs to shipping text

Accessing in Liquid

{% assign market_shipping_text = product_variant.metafields.restockrocket_production.market_shipping_text.value | json %}

Example value of market_shipping_text =>
{
  "market_id_1": "Ships in 1 week",
  "market_id_2": "Ships in 2 weeks",
  "market_id_3": "Ships in 4 days"
}
