What is the process to update metafields in Shopify using Stock Sync?

To update metafields in Shopify through Stock Sync, map the column from your feed directly to the Shopify metafield you created. Once the metafield is added to the field mapping, Stock Sync will update it automatically during each sync.


If the metafield is multi-line text, integer, or another type, ensure the metafield definition in Shopify matches the data type in your feed, as a metafield can only support one data type.


If you want a metafield value to be cleared when the feed shows a blank, enable the option "Remove metafield when value is blank in feed" in the metafield’s smart settings. This clears only the value, not the metafield definition itself. Future feed updates with a value will repopulate it normally.
