# Order printer

{% hint style="info" %}
The official [Shopify Order Printer](https://apps.shopify.com/shopify-order-printer) app now supports order metafields via `order.metafields` Liquid variable. For example,

```liquid
{% assign tracked_line_items = order.metafields.serializer.properties.items
              | where: 'lineItemId', line_item.id
            %}
  
            {% if tracked_line_items.size > 0 %}
              {% assign sns = tracked_line_items | where: 'serialNumber' | map: 'serialNumber' %}
              {% if sns.size > 0 %}
                <small> Serial number(s): {{ sns | join: ', ' }} </small>
              {% endif %}
            {% endif %}
```

The Shopify Order Printer may be a better alternative than Serializer's order printer.&#x20;
