Getting metafield column headers and value formats right is one of the trickiest parts of a bulk import. Now you can ask Shopify Sidekick for a template and skip the guesswork entirely.
🚀 What’s New#
- Metafield templates in Sidekick - Ask “get me the metafield import template” and Sidekick replies with a download link, no need to open the app (see guide).
- Built from your store - The Excel file lists every metafield definition on your store with the exact column headers and a working example value for each type.
- Answers formatting questions - Ask Sidekick what header or value format a metafield needs and it can hand you the template showing exactly that.
The template is a normal Altera import file: fill in the identifier column, edit the values you care about, and import it. See the Sidekick guide for everything else Sidekick can do with Altera.
