📄️ What is a metafield?
The Metafields object is a Shopify feature that provides users an extra space to store the additional data used in custom apps and themes. The Metafields object is used for backend data management only and doesn’t affect neither the storefront nor the functionality of a website by default. You can learn more about the metafields object here.
📄️ How do I make import/export work faster? | Shopify API calls limits
All metafields-related operation are being carried via Shopify metafields API. Each Shopify plan has its own API calls limits.
📄️ Are metafields used for SEO?
Despite the fact that Shopify metafields and general WEB metadata are different, there are two “system” metafields preserved by Shopify to store the meta (SEO) description and title for products, collections, pages and blogs. Those are the "titletag" and "descriptiontag" metafields in "global" namespace.
📄️ Some metafields are being displayed while other are ignored. How do I resolve the issue?
As we learned earlier, in order to display metafields on the storefront, a custom Liquid code snippet must be added to a respective template file of your theme. That's a nice point to start - you may want to make sure that there is such a code in your theme. Checking the official documentation for your theme or contacting theme's developer seem to be the best options to get this information.
📄️ Can I use Metafields Guru to edit metafields created with another app?
Although Metafields Guru is the best and most popular tool for managing metafields, metafields are not an exclusive feature of ours. Metafields should be viewed as child objects that can be appended to a parent resource, such as a product or an order, to add more data on top of the standard properties. Metafields are securely stored in Shopify's database and manipulated via the API available to any other app with the respective access scope.
📄️ I need to customize my theme or add a custom functionality. Can I hire you to do the job for me?
Unfortunately, we don’t provide this kind of service. If you'd like to have someone to do the custom job for you, you may want to consider hiring a Shopify expert and delegating the job to this person. These guys are Shopify approved developers and are really good at implementing various custom solutions.
📄️ Will I lose my metafields if I uninstall the app?
No, uninstalling our app won’t delete metafields as they are stored in the Shopify database.
📄️ I can't access the app, what should I do?
Don't worry, it's a common issue for the outdated browser versions since Shopify cares about both privacy and security, it has extremely low old technology tolerance due to the possible security or privacy breaches.
📄️ Will I lose metafields if I change my theme?
Switching to a new theme won't delete metafields, but it might affect your shop’s storefront.
