Metaobject intro

What is Shopify metaobject?

Metaobjects enable you to create and manage custom data not natively available in your default Shopify data structure, such as recipes, size charts, FAQs, ingredient lists, book metadata, and technical product specifications.

You can access and modify the data stored in metaobjects from the Shopify admin, then display those Shopify metaobjects within your theme.

What is metaobject template?

Metaobject templates are a set of pre-configured sections designed to provide your online store with a uniform appearance.

When you use Easy Content Builder to create a metaobject template, you can incorporate any available sections from our app.

You can easily generate a metaobject definition for the sections you want to link to your metaobjects with a simple one-click option. Once you've established a metaobject definition and created metaobject entries, you can utilize dynamic sources to link the fields of your metaobject definition.

When to use Metaobject?

Metaobjects are useful for adding fully custom data to each product or page using a single template. This allows for unique content sections specific to each product or page, even when using the same template.

A helpful example of metaobjects is creating a single content section across multiple pages, like the Author Bio. For instance, you can display the same Author A bio block on 5 product pages. When you update the Author A Bio, all five products will automatically reflect your edits.
