Online Store 2.0: New metafields type system and dynamic sources available
We've released a new commerce-oriented type system for metafields. Metafields created with these new types from our APIs will be more interoperable across our system.
The type system is exposed through a new type
field. The type
field replaces the field, which is now deprecated, and will be removed in our 2021-10 release.
Most new types map to the old enum, except for
and
json
. json
replaces , but
will continue to exist because it behaves differently than the new
json
type when referenced in Liquid.
Note: will not automatically migrate to the
json
type.
Learn more about the type system and how to migrate to it in the Metafields documentation.
