What's new?

After the latest beta update in January 2021, we’ve opened the Import/Export feature and now everyone can have an experience with our advanced function.

  • Import/Export metafields function will require credit points to do the job.


April updates

  • All new users will be rewarded 500 points. Each point is corresponding to one object. When you reach the limit, it’s able to purchase more with $2 per 500 credit points.

Note:

- As you can see, there are 02 main sections in the app: Custom Fields tab and Metafields tab.
- If you export a file in the Custom Fields tab, only values created in this tab can be exported.
