Bulk-update metafields

Published:2026-08-07 16:20/Updated:2026-08-11 12:05

Prepare a file (xlsx / csv) from the template and bulk-update SHOPLINE product metafields through a six-step wizard.

This tool is a six-step wizard (select connection → view definitions → upload file → preview → running → result).

Prerequisites

  • At least one SHOPLINE connection
  • This tool supports SHOPLINE connections only
  • Uploads must be xlsx or csv, 10MB maximum

1. Select a connection

Open [Tool Set] → [Metafield Import Tool] and choose a SHOPLINE connection.

  • If no connection is selected: "No SHOPLINE connection selected"
  • If the selected connection is not SHOPLINE: "This tool is only available for Shopline Connection. The currently selected Connection is {platform} and cannot use this tool."

Once selected, "Selected: {connection name}" is shown. Click [Next: View Definitions].

Step 1 of the metafield import tool — select a connection

2. View definitions and get the template

  1. Choose the resource (Products / Variants / Collections / Customers / Orders / Pages / Blogs / Articles / Shop).
  2. The metafield definitions for that resource are listed (namespace / key / value type / field name). Copy on each row gives you the path used in the template (e.g. products.namespace.key).
  3. Click [Download Template File] for an Excel template for that resource, containing owner_id / owner_resource.namespace.key / value columns.
  4. Fill in the template, save it, and continue.

Note

A message is shown if the resource has no metafield definitions.

Copying the path (owner_resource.namespace.key) from the definitions table avoids typos.

3. Upload the file

Click [Select File] or drag and drop. xlsx and csv up to 10MB are supported; an error is shown for other formats or oversized files.

The file name and size are shown once selected, and the wizard advances automatically.

Caution

From step 3 the connection is locked. To change it, start over.

4–6. Preview, run, result

  1. Confirm the file name in the preview and start the run.
  2. The running screen shows status, progress (processed / total) and success / failure counts in real time. There is no back button while it runs.
  3. The result shows succeeded / failed / total.
    • Partial failure: a message asks you to check the error details
    • Complete failure: a message states the run failed and asks you to check the error details
