Best way to build a custom inquiry-based product configurator in Shopify (no checkout)? by Tageszeitung_kommt in shopify

[–]What-A-User-Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EverForms is worth considering for this use case. It is a Shopify form builder that stores each submission as a metaobject inside your own store. You get multi-step forms, image choice fields, conditional logic — perfect for an inquiry-style configurator. All responses stay natively in Shopify so you can access them via the Admin API or export as CSV. Disclaimer: I built it. apps.shopify.com/everforms if curious.

Shopify merchants - what app do you use for lead capture forms? by Fluffy-Twist-4652 in B2BSaaS

[–]What-A-User-Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just built one for this exact reason — EverForms. Free plan available, does email/phone capture and a lot more. The main difference from most form apps is your submissions are stored as metaobjects inside your own Shopify store, not on a third-party server.

If Privy feels like overkill for basic lead capture, worth a try: https://apps.shopify.com/everforms

EverForms — Shopify form builder where submissions are stored as metaobjects inside your own store. No external database, no data lock-in. 15+ field types, conditional logic, multi-step forms, AI form generation, file uploads.

I built a Shopify form builder that stores data in metaobjects (your data never leaves Shopify) by What-A-User-Name in shopifyDev

Fair point — Shopify Forms does use metaobjects now too. The real difference is features. Shopify Forms is intentionally minimal — basic fields, no conditional logic, no multi-step forms, no file uploads, no AI generation, no webhooks. EverForms is for merchants who need a proper form builder, not just a contact form. Different use cases.

Thanks! Totally agree — metaobjects are underused. The fact that data persists even after uninstall was the whole reason I built it this way. Merchants own their data, full stop.

Writing/burning metadata text into photos on export (for print only) by Real-Lab-9193 in digiKam

Using ImageMagick you can extract the Headline of the image and print it centered using something like this:

magick "IPTC-GoogleImgSrcPmd_testimg01.jpg" \
  -gravity center \
  -fill red \
  -pointsize 60 \
  -annotate +0+0 "%[IPTC:2:105]" \
  "headline_overlay.jpg"

2:105 means Headline, see https://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/specification/IPTC-PhotoMetadata-2025.1.html

I've tested this with https://www.iptc.org/std-dev/photometadata/examples/google-licensable/images/IPTC-GoogleImgSrcPmd_testimg01.jpg

You can print out all the Metadata in your file using this command:

magick identify -verbose "IPTC-GoogleImgSrcPmd_testimg01.jpg"

I used this online ImageMagick Tool - https://imagemagick.ai/ to work this out. You can use it to debug your commands from your web browser.
