Enquiry regarding export of metafields of variants

Topic summary

  • Use the Shopify API to export variant metafields.
  • Use a third‑party app; DataChamp was specifically recommended, with tutorial links for exporting metafields and an offer of support.

Hi,

Can you share your store url

Hi Mujaida

First of all the metafields are not related to theme. The metafield structure stays the same irrespective of the theme you are using.

You’ll need to either use API to export the metafields of Variants or use an app from shopify store to export your data.

If you need more help, let me know

Kind Regards

Hi @Mujaida

For your case it is definetly a good option to use a third-party-app. For Metafield exports I can highly recommend our App DataChamp! Here you can find our Tutorial on exporting Metafields and Custom Fields. In general our App is very easy to set up! If you need some help anyway, do not hesitate to contact our Support! I hope I could help you with your concern!
