Is the metafield limit of 250 per shop? Is there a public metaobject limit?
If I have a private app is the limit combined with the shop or it is independent? Is it only per app installation?
Topic summary
Topic: Clarifying Shopify limits for metafields and metaobjects, and whether limits apply per shop or per app installation.
Key update:
- A staff reply states the limit is 250 metafields per shop, across all metafield types, regardless of whether they’re created by an app or via the admin. This implies the limit is not per app or per app installation.
- Metaobject limit details are not yet publicly documented; documentation is forthcoming.
Open questions:
- Whether the 250 limit applies to the count of metafield definitions versus the total number of metafields (values/entries) remains unclear.
- Whether one definition could support thousands of app-level metafields (e.g., 3,000) is unanswered.
Status:
- Partial clarification provided (limit is per shop, not per app). Further guidance on metaobjects and the definition-vs-instance limit is pending; discussion effectively remains open.
Hi Slurp,
The limit of 250 metafields per shop is for all types of metafield whether they are created by an app or via the admin. There will be more info on metaobjects published on our docs soon.
Hope this helps,

As I understand this is per metafield definition, not per the amount of metafields themselves? Can I have one definition and f.e: 3000 app level metafields per app?
