Metafields with api

Hello,

I’m working on adding metafields to products using the REST API. I’ve successfully sent requests to create the metafields, but when I check the product on the website, the metafields do not appear because they are not configured. Currently, I am configuring them manually through the Shopify admin panel.

Is there a way to fully automate the configuration of metafields via the API, so that they appear correctly on the product page without manual intervention?

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi Aliveli,

You should be able to set values for metafields with either a put request with REST (see docs and examples here) or with the GraphQL API using the metafieldsSet mutation.

Hi Liam,

First of all, thank you for your response.

Yes I am able to modify an existing configured metafield via api. But when I want to create a new metafield using api, it is not configured and I should configure it manually using shopify admin website.
