# shop.metaobjects is now just metaobjects in liquid

We've simplified access to metaobjects in Liquid. You can now access metaobjects using the streamlined syntax `metaobjects.type.handle`, aligning with conventions used for other resource types. This new approach is more standardized and is now the preferred method. The previous access syntax, `shop.metaobjects.type.handle`, remains functional and backward compatible but is officially deprecated.
