Shop Metafields

Options for exporting Shopify Metafields with Duplify

Shop Metafields are the custom metafield definitions you've added to your shop. These definitions act as templates that specify what part of your store a metafield applies to and what values the metafield can have.

Select this option to enable a full export of all the metafield definitions added to the source store. Duplify will export these metafield definitions to the destination stores.

Definitions and Values

Once a metafield is defined, you can store values in it. For example, in a product upsell scenario, individual products can be linked with additional products to enhance an upsell promotion. These values are stored within the product itself.

  • When selecting your export options in Duplify, choose the individual metafield options to export values for products, collections, customers, orders, and blog posts.

  • To export the definitions, select this Shop metafields option to export all definitions.


Export Events

Duplify determines the size of your source store's export by tracking export events, each representing one data item or file.

Your selected plan provides a specific number of monthly export events. Each plan offers a generous amount of points for export events. See pricing and plans for more details.
