Reference metafields resolve within the same product import

Try Altera for free

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

Available on Shopify App Store

A product_reference or variant_reference metafield can now point at a new product that’s created in the same import file. This removes the need to run the file twice for the links to set up.


🚀 What’s New
#

  • Generated Metafields step - a reference that still does not resolve after its row is written gets a second attempt after every sheet has run, in a step of its own on the job page (see Generated Metafields).
  • Metafields sheet - a sheet named Metafields sets one metafield per row on products, variants, customers, companies, orders, and draft orders, in the layout Matrixify uses (see Import metafields as a sheet).
  • Results sheet - an Excel results file gets a Generated Metafields sheet with the outcome of each reference, so you can correct a handle there and import that sheet again.
