Sometimes, a custom solution involving metafields usage requires more complex logic and flexibility than the Shopify Liquid can handle. That's where the Shopify Storefront API comes really handy.
However, by default, all metafields are hidden from the Storefront API and may be accessed via Shopify Liquid code only. A special API call has to be made in order to make a metafield accessible via the Storefront API which seems to be an extra hassle... don't worry, we got your back!

That's it, you've created your first metafield storefront visibility record with just a couple of clicks:
Now you're ready to start retrieving metafields via the Shopify Storefront API.
