What are Shopify metaobjects?

Shopify metaobjects are powerful and flexible data structures designed to extend the capabilities of your Shopify store’s data beyond the standard fields and metafields. They allow you to create specific data structures that can be associated with various resources in your store, such as products, collections, orders, and customers.

This means you can define and manage unique pieces of information that aren’t already included by Shopify’s platform.

With metaobjects, you can:

• Tailor your data management to match your business processes.
• Capture specific information that is critical to your operations.
• Build a more detailed and rich database, enhancing your ability to serve your customers better.

By incorporating metaobjects, Shopify becomes a more adaptable platform, capable of meeting the specific demands of a wide range of ecommerce businesses.
