Shopify meta fields (also known as Shopify custom fields) let you add additional information to your product listings.
Like any other field that you map from NetSuite, you need the NetSuite field ID. From the Shopify site, you need to find the meta field name and the namespace values. When configuring your mapping, NetSuite Connector uses the Key field for the meta field name and Namespace field for the namespace.
Meta fields
Metafields enable you to customize the functionality and appearance of your Shopify store by letting you save specialized information that isn’t usually captured in the Shopify admin. You can use Metafields for internal tracking, or to display specialized information on your online store in a variety of ways. For example, a candle seller might want to display a burn time for candles on their product pages, while a grocery store might want to display a product expiration date for canned goods. Other examples of specialized information include the following:
- part numbers
- color swatches
- launch dates
- related products
- blog post summaries
- files for download
- lists of ingredients
You can add Meta fields to your products, collections, customers, orders, and other parts of your store, either directly from your Shopify admin or by using an app from the Shopify app store.
