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

After a Shopify migration with Cart2Cart, extra product/customer data often lands as metafields. You can create definitions and edit values in Shopify admin without a third-party app.

Create or edit metafield definitions (current)

1. In Shopify app, choose Metafields Guru

5. Open a product (or other resource) and scroll to the metafields section to add or update values.

Optional apps (for bulk editing) are still available in the Shopify App Store, but native Custom data covers create/update/delete for most migration follow-up work.
