# New metafield type: Rating

Metafields now support a Rating type. Ratings represent a value on a specified scale, such as a product rating of 4.8 out of 5, or a spiciness rating of 3 chili peppers.

Learn more about Ratings in our [metafield types](https://shopify.dev/apps/metafields/definitions/types) and [metafield object](https://shopify.dev/api/liquid/objects/metafield#metafield-value) documentation.
