Create metaobject definitions and entries

Plans: Pro or Unlimited
 

Create a definition

1. Open Metaobjects Studio.
2. Open Definitions (or create from the hub).
3. Click New definition.
4. Enter the type / name and fields Shopify requires (labels, types, required flags).
5. Save.

Notes:

• Shopify-managed standard definitions are generally treated as read-only for schema edits.
• You can delete custom definitions from the app when the confirm flow is available—double-check no critical storefront references remain.

Enable on products (reference metafield)

To link entries to products you usually need a product metafield of type metaobject_reference (or list) that points at this definition.

1. From the definition, use Enable on products (or create the product metafield definition manually in Admin / metafield definitions UI).
2. Confirm the metafield namespace/key you will use later in bulk link.

Create an entry

1. Open the definition → Entries.
2. Click New entry.
3. Fill required fields.
4. Save.

Edit or delete entries from the entries list or entry edit screen.
