Try Altera for free

Import and export Shopify data with ease. Matrixify-compatible.

Available on Shopify App Store

Importing metafields just got easier. No more guessing metafield types or cluttering your column headers with type specifications.


🔧 Improvements
#

  • Metafield type detection – automatically detects types from your Shopify metafield definitions when not specified in column headers.
  • Simplified column headers – use Variant Metafield: custom.color_primary instead of Variant Metafield: custom.color_primary [list.metaobject_reference].
  • Smart caching – avoids repeated API calls by caching metafield definitions during import runs.
  • Cross-object support – works for products, variants, customers, orders, collections, and all other supported object types.
