Metafield Notes

Metafields for an object can be written when upserting/creating an object that supports metafields. When polling for objects, looking up an object or searching for objects, there is a checkbox that can be selected that will fetch the corresponding metafields for objects. Selecting this checkbox will cause more API calls to be consumed. (An additional API call per object read.)

When reading metafields data will be returned in this format. When writing metafield data, the following format is also expected for the metafields object.

{
  "metafieldNamespaceOne" : {
    "metafieldKeyOne": "Metafield Value for metafieldNamespaceOne.metafieldKeyOne",
    "metafieldKeyTwo": "Metafield Value for metafieldNamespaceOne.metafieldKeyTwo"
  },
  "metafieldNamespaceTwo": {
    "metafieldKeyThree": "Metafield Value for metafieldNamespaceTwo.metafieldKeyThree"
  }
}

Shopify metafields support the following three types:

• integer metafields will be created whenever the value provided for a metafield is a JSON number that is an integer. When reading Shopify integer metafields, they will result in JSON numbers.

• string metafields will be created whenever the value provided for a metafield is a JSON string or a JSON number that is not an integer. When reading any Shopify string metafields, they will result in JSON strings regardless of whether or not they could be parsed as numbers.

• json_string metafields will be created whenever the value provided for a metafield is a JSON object, array or boolean. The incoming value will be converted to a JSON string and stored. When reading Shopify metafields, they will be converted back to their JSON forms.

Setting a metafield the value of JSON null will result in that metafield being deleted.

Not setting a value for a metafield will result in that metafield being unchanged.
