## Mutations

* [metafields​Set](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer/latest/mutations/metafieldsSet)

  mutation

  Sets metafield values. Metafield values will be set regardless if they were previously created or not.

  Allows a maximum of 25 metafields to be set at a time.

  This operation is atomic, meaning no changes are persisted if an error is encountered.

  As of `2024-07`, this operation supports compare-and-set functionality to better handle concurrent requests. If `compareDigest` is set for any metafield, the mutation will only set that metafield if the persisted metafield value matches the digest used on `compareDigest`. If the metafield doesn't exist yet, but you want to guarantee that the operation will run in a safe manner, set `compareDigest` to `null`. The `compareDigest` value can be acquired by querying the metafield object and selecting `compareDigest` as a field. If the `compareDigest` value does not match the digest for the persisted value, the mutation will return an error. You can opt out of write guarantees by not sending `compareDigest` in the request.
