How to Bulk Edit Metafields

One of the features that make Shopify so versatile is the use of metafields. Metafields give you the ability to store extra information on your products, collections, orders, blogs, and more. However, managing these metafields can be a challenge, especially when you're dealing with bulk editing. That's where Ablestar's Bulk Product Editor app comes in handy.

You can use our app to edit your metafields as you would edit other product and variant fields as long as they are already defined in Shopify. 

Updating Metafield Definitions

When you install the Bulk Product Editor app, it will check with Shopify to see which metafields you have defined. Any defined metafields can then be edited through the app. You can see a list of the metafield definitions the app recognizes by going to Shopify Settings > Custom Data > Products:

If you add or modify a metafield definition or metafield namespace in the Shopify admin, you may need to manually refresh or sync your metafield definitions. Go to Ablestar Settings > Shopify data > and click the 'Metafields' refresh icon.

Conclusion

Bulk editing metafields in Shopify is an efficient way to manage and update your store's data.

With our Bulk Product Editor, you can not only handle your metafields with ease, but also perform other multiple edits, including product fields, variant fields, and Google Shopping fields. Here's a list of all the editable fields in the Bulk Product Editor.

✅ Tips and Troubleshooting

• Edits for metafields will take longer because they require more API calls than most other edits
• You may need to manually refresh or sync your metafield definitions. Go to Ablestar Settings > Shopify data > and click the 'Metafields' refresh icon if you are not seeing your metafields appear in the app editor.
