Use this template when you want a ready-made workflow for this use case: Copies the company name from order addresses into an order metafield at creation time.

It is designed for Shopify B2B operations and gives you a production-ready starting point instead of building the automation from scratch.

## Setup guide

## Before you start

This template writes the company name found on a new order into an order metafield. It uses the shipping company when available and falls back to the billing company.

## Configure in setup

- `Metafield namespace`: namespace to write on the order
- `Metafield key`: key to write on the order
- `Metafield type`: metafield type, usually `single_line_text_field`

## Notes

- Orders with no company name in either address are skipped
- The workflow writes directly to the order metafield using Shopify GraphQL
