Preventing “Hidden” Line Item Properties from Displaying on Your Store ✏️

If you navigate back to the cart page after starting the multiple address shipping process in either Giftship or Multiship, you may notice some strange characters. Here is how to prevent them from displaying on your store.

The “_gs_master_reference”, and “_gs_r” properties seeing here are referred to as “hidden” line item properties, since they start with an underscore. They are hidden during the Shopify checkout, and themes usually have the code built in to ensure that these are not displayed, but sometimes this needs to be added in manually.

To fix this, all we need to do is add a condition to the line item property loop in your cart.liquid template.

Within your cart.liquid template, find this line:

{% for p in item.properties %}

Paste this directly beneath it:

{% if p.first.first == "_" %}{% continue %}{% endif %}
