Create metaobjects

NOTE: Easy Content Builder provides a one-click option that enables you to create a metaobject definition automatically. No need to manually specify the metaobjects’ name, type, and fields like the native Shopify workflow.

Create metaobjects

• Open Apps > Easy Content Builder > Metaobjects
• On the Manage Metaobjects screen > click the Create button next to the metaobject content types that Easy Content Builder provides to create metaobjects.

Please note that metaobjects will serve as a dynamic source for various blocks/sections. You will need to create one or all of the metaobject content types (listed in the table below), depending on which one you intend to use.
