How to create, update and delete metafields on a Shopify store?

After migrating options and attributes from your source store to Shopify using a data migration service like Cart2Cart, you might need to manage metafields within your Shopify store. Metafields allow you to store additional information for products (including variants), collections (both smart and custom), customers, orders (including draft orders), blogs, pages, and the shop itself. To create, update, and delete these metafields directly from your Shopify admin panel, consider installing a free app like Metafields Guru. Without such an app, metafields may not be easily visible or editable through the standard Shopify admin interface.

Here's how to use Metafields Guru to manage your Shopify metafields after your eCommerce data migration:

1. Once you've installed Metafields Guru from the Shopify App Store, go to the "Apps" section in the left navigation menu of your Shopify admin panel and select the Metafields Guru app. Choose the type of data you want to edit (e.g., products, customers, orders).

2. Use the filter options to find the specific product, customer, or order you want to modify.

3. Click on the "Metafields" tab (or equivalent) within the item's details. Enter or edit the desired data in the metafield fields. Be sure to save your changes by clicking the "Create Metafield" or "Update Metafield" button.


Happy migration!
