Free tool: jump into editing Shopify product metafields in a few seconds
Free online tool that constructs a URL for bulk editing of product metafields. No need for code or paid apps.
Need a way to create additional product information on Shopify? Notes, messages, shipping info, any kind of custom field?
Currently, in order to create these fields, you mainly have two options:
- Use Shopify’s API (requires some code skills) to create and edit product metafields - this includes several lines of GraphQL queries.
- Pay for a metafields app from the Shopify app store, which usually requires a recurring, monthly payment.
Well, there’s an easier way: use Shopify’s bulk editor.
However, even that requires quite some work. You need to type a long URL with some special parameters, in order to open the editor with the specific fields you want to edit.
So is there a better way?
A fast way to generate a URL that will get you right in the bulk editor
I’ve built a tool that lets you construct the URL by giving your *.myshopify.com address, and the field names you want to create and edit.
Here’s how to use it:
1. Type in your *.myshopify.com domain
2. Add the field names (press ‘Enter’ in between)
3. Hit ‘Get URL’ and then ‘Visit’
4. Bookmark the bulk editor page for future use
You can access the tool here.
The bulk editor might not be suitable for stores with lots of thousands of products. Also, keep in mind that these metafields are not private.
