Meta Object management

Example: Store location data

Shopify Metaobjects let you add and organize custom types of content—like unique product details, events, or stories—so your store can be more flexible without needing a ton of coding.

Firstly, you want to access your Shopify admin settings > Metafields and metaobjects 

1. Creating definitions:

A metaobject definition is the blueprint, and metaobjects are the actual content pieces built from that blueprint.

Here features the name (which is needed to reference the meta object) and fields (The individual pieces of information each metaobject will have. They define what you can store for each item) 

For an Store metaobject, fields could be:

• Name → The name of the store

• Hours→ The opening hours of the store

• Address → Where it happens

• Coordinates → The lat and lng map location of the store

*If you make definition with a list field type, you cannot change it once the definition is created

2. Creating Entries:

Now that a definition is created, its time to fill it with entries (an instance of that metaobject).

After selecting your meta object definition, click add entry to get started.

3. Managing Entries:

After the entry is created, it will save to your entries list, click view entries.

Instead of having information scattered across products, pages, or apps, you can store it all in one structured place.

Which can be edited anytime by accessing said entry.
