Metafields Master will truly provide you with endless possibilities when it comes to storing information. Let's go over the installation of the app.

Let's take a look at the difference between Metafields vs. Metaobjects

Metafields and Metaobjects are terms used in software development and database management.

Metafields refer to additional data or information associated with a database field. In other words, they allow you to attach additional information to specific database fields, known as metadata. With metafields, you can specify important details such as data type, length, or format, providing a comprehensive overview of your stored data.

Metaobjects, on the other hand, are higher-level abstractions used to define complex data structures. Think of them as collections of metafields that together form a specific type of data. To get started with Metaobjects, you can create a class or structure to hold the data, including the necessary fields.

The definition, which is the object's structure, is managed in the "Custom Data" section of your Shopify admin's "Settings." Entries, which are the content or data for the metaobject, are created and managed in the "Metaobjects" section of your Shopify admin's "Content."

Creating a metaobject is relatively simple. The first step is to create a class or structure that will hold the data for the metaobject. This class or structure should include the fields that will contain the data for the metaobject. For example, if you create a metaobject to store employee information, the fields might include the employee's name, position, and salary.

In summary, metafields provide additional information about individual data elements, while metaobjects provide a higher-level structure for organizing and representing complex data. By leveraging these powerful tools, you can efficiently manage and display various types of data on your Shopify store. Whether it's customizing product descriptions, optimizing search results, or organizing customer information. Metafields and Metaobjects offer valuable ways to enhance your store's performance and overall user experience.

Now, let’s set up a field within the app:

  • Go to Apps > Metafields Master 
  • Open the app, and you will be brought to the app dashboard. Select a module you want to add Metafield to. Let's say you want to add Metafield to your products. Now follow these 3 simple steps:
Step 1: Create New Metafield

Click Create New > Add details like Namespace, Key, Description, Type, and String. Make sure you add the same Namespace and Key while creating Metafield for other products to avoid creating multiple Metafield codes for each product.   

Step 2: Save Your Metafield

Hit the "Save" button when you're done adding the details.

Step 3: Add Code To Store

Now is the time when you need to copy the Metafield code and paste it into the store, and you're all done! Navigate to the "Online Store" menu and look for the edit code option under the 'Action' dropdown option. Now under the 'product.liquid' or 'product-template.liquid' file of the Shopify store theme, place the code wherever it requires the metafield to be displayed. In this example, the code is placed above the product description. Save the file.

Here's the full guide for setting up your first metafield using Metafields Master App.
