Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is MetaForge Manager?

MetaForge Manager is a Shopify embedded app that lets you bulk add, remove, and update tags and metafields across your store using CSV files.

Data is stored securely using Shopify Metaobjects. No personal or sensitive information is stored on external servers.

2. How do Tag & Metafield operations work?

Tag and Metafield operations follow a simple and safe workflow:

1. Identify – Use GID, SKU, Handle, Order name, or Email in your CSV.
2. Action – Add, Remove (Specific or Global).
3. Review – Download a Result Sheet after completion.

3. How are different Metafield types handled?

Single-Value Metafields

Add or remove values via CSV, or remove them globally.

List-Type Metafields

Choose to:

• Merge new values with existing values.
• Replace the entire list with new values.

File Reference Metafields

Removal only. Uploads must be managed through Shopify Media.

4. Can I undo an operation?

Yes. The app includes a secure History & Undo system.

• Operations are stored for 48 hours.
• Each operation can be undone only once.

5. What are the usage limits?

CSV Limit

Maximum 5,000 records per file. Larger datasets must be split into multiple files.

Important

Keep the app tab open while an operation is running. Refreshing the page, navigating away, or closing the tab will stop the operation.

6. Can I export data for editing?

Yes. You can export store data from all Shopify resources, including user-created Metaobjects.

Exports help you:

• Obtain accurate GIDs and identifiers.
• Edit values in Excel or Google Sheets.
• Upload the CSV back to perform bulk updates.
