More metafield type conversions for imports

Try Altera for free

Import and export Shopify data with ease. Matrixify-compatible.

Available on Shopify App Store

Altera already converts many metafield types automatically during import - things like booleans, colors, dates, money, measurements, and rich text. This update extends that support to cover more types.


Improvements
#

  • Link metafields - Plain URLs like https://example.com are now converted to Shopify’s required JSON format with url and text keys.
  • Rating metafields - Plain numbers like 4.5 are now wrapped with the correct scale values from your metafield definition.
  • List types - List variants of link and color types are now converted automatically.
  • Metaobject fields - Metaobject imports now use the same conversion logic as product metafields, so all type conversions work consistently across both.
