This function lets users import metafields data after editing or move data from store to store.


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 import a file in the Custom Fields tab, only available values in this tab can receive the data. System will automatically skip all unavailable metafields. 
- On the other side, Metafields tab supports importing all values related to the chosen items.
