We have been using the Metafields2 app for years and it has made it easy to provide product information among other things on our website. The support we have been given has been excellent. Joe is great and knows what he is doing. He is prompt with replies and always ready to help.

We've been using Metafields2 for many years, and it has been extremely reliable and easy to use. While we haven’t needed much support, whenever we do, Joe is always incredibly responsive and helpful—a rarity these days. His excellent customer support is greatly appreciated!

Metafields 2 has really enabled us to effectively use Shopify to manage both our website - www.bunkbedking.com as well as supporting our efforts in the major marketplaces. Excellent value for money

It doesn't work. You delete the metafields but they are not deleted in shopify... what a waste of time

We have used the app for a number of years and it has really offered up a lot of options to us that are missing from the Shopify platform. The team have always been super helpful and very prompt, this really is essential.

This app is fantastic and without it we could not share the details we need to or sell our products. The developers REALLY care about what they build/what they do and how they do it. Joe Bryan went above and beyond for us. Its refreshing to see that they care about every single merchant who uses their app. Thank you Joe and team!

Without it my store is dead. I need 350 metafields and this is the only app that helped me with that.

This was the recommended app to update shipping dimensions for ShipperHQ. I can't image how anyone could use the export for updating a large amount of products. For my needs the export is almost unusable. With this app the metafield values export in rows instead of columns. My 2600 products exported into 35000 rows on the export. Other apps I found export the same data into 7500 rows. After a lot of searching I found a better app that exports the data perfectly. It's called Excelify. Excelify is more expensive but it's the only app that exported product and variant data together with metafields in columns. Some troubleshooting advice: To prevent a failed import, in both Excel and Google Sheets, convert the ID column format to "Custom Number 0". Both Excel and Sheets have a bad habit of condensing the long ID number which results in a failed import. Be sure to import and export data in UTF-8 format. This seems to be the standard for metafield apps.

Great app for the price. Not the prettiest interface but it works which is what's most important ...

I tried a few Metafields apps, starting with the cheapest and working my way up...I've now been using this app off and on for a few weeks and, while its output format isn't the best (one row per product per metafield, rather than columns), it's perfectly workable for someone with Excel skills and I find it rather good! Apart from the bulk export and import facilities (more of that in a minute), the display of information is good and clear. You can select product, collections, whatever else Metafields, to keep things tidy and when you list a single product or collection, or whatever, you're met with a full list of the Metafields applicable to 'whatever you're looking at', along with values. Any or all may be updated on that page, with one 'Save' button. New Metafields may also be entered here (and which then apply to all of that genre -products, collections, etc.). You can also perform a search so you quickly arrive where you want to be. Simple, intuitive, comprehensive. The only problem....is that although the app exports a nice csv file, which may be read by Excel and worked on within Excel - the export from Excel (in UTF-8 format, then opened and saved by Notepad in UTF-8 format, to ensure the file *really is* in UTF-8 format, as Excel doesn't do a good job with that) - cannot then be imported back into Metafields2, as there are some 'dodgy' characters hiding there at the beginning of the file. However...with help from Joe and some experimentation, I've found it's possible to do all the above, working in Excel to do the 'bulk of the job', then open the exported csv file in Google Sheets - and then just save it. This results in a perfectly serviceable, *proper*, UTF-8 file that can be imported back into Metafields2. Maybe a long winded review, but if it helps anyone with similar problems in the future...I think the app deserves it. It's a good app.

Unless you are a developer, this app won't help you. Set up is easy. Creating metafields is easy, but then doing anything with them is where this app falls down. Shopify doesn't give you any access to the fields (in product export for example) so you have to use the export utility in the app. The problem is that creates a line per product per metavalue, which unless you are going to throw the results into a SQL database, is beyond useless. I can see the point of the app for some people, but it didn't solve our problem for creating the technical details as fields on products as a simple grid layout for our price list.

Fantastic, exactly what I needed. This is a piece of functionality that I was surprised to find Shopify didn't support in their UI. This implements exactly the kind of missing functionality I expected. I tried 2 other metafield editors from the Shopify App Store and neither of them allowed me to edit existing tags (why?). Perfect.

Very powerful. Easy to manage large amounts of data across all template types. The perfect solution for truly getting under the hood and customizing any data including richer collection layouts - which is one of the many reasons we use it - we created a secondary control panel for displaying additional images and contents to create a rich visual experience on a specific collection pages. Definitely for developer level talent to organize the fields, but easy enough for end users to manage and use them. One of the best apps we use for its shear ease and power.

Great app, well worth the subscription, it make extending functionality a snap! We're using it for product recommendations on both product pages and articles which took 30 minutes with a bit of jQuery. We ran into a bug with the app syncing and the team was quick to respond and resolved the issue promptly. Overall, we're very satisfied.

Love this app. Initially tried the non-paid version but this version has some nice features that make it worth it in my opinion. This version of the app makes it easier to find and switch between products when you have many products to update. The import/export features are also a huge time-saver.

Very useful app. We have thousands of unique products each with many metafields per product. This app simply lets us manage them via csv, saving us the manhours of working with Shopify's API ourselves. Any issues we encountered were addressed almost immediately. Thank you Joe and the sinelabs team!

Very nice app for add custom input to back-end. It would be very nice in the future to support more type not just string and integer. But is very easy to use and well done. Support is great, and they will response to any questions...

This is an awesome app. This app will save lots of time and is already an asset to me in running my site. PLUS, I received first rate support from Chris who actually walked me through the basics with a Skype screen share. Great app + steller support = :-) If you have detailed product descriptions or info/specifications that apply to sub groups or only certain items, this is perfect for updating your site quickly via the CSV upload for newly created fields.

We used the first sineLABS Metafields app for about a year. We were worried to upgrade to Shopify2 because we thought it might screw up the Metafields app - which is the missing link needed for true Shopify customization. Just upgraded to Shopify2 and Metafelds2 and....all good. Joe from sineLABS has been a great help. If this app didn't exist, we wouldn't be using Shopify.

Metafields has been a staple addon for our business needs at AwesomeDrinks (as the demo video shows), it gives us the ability to build information for product video's, allows us to write general tweaks/scripts around product "variables" within specific products, list product ingredients without having to manage them in the "Description" of the product and product dimensions. This then allows us to move them around the template without having to be restricted to wherever the theme designer stuffed the text descriptions. Metafields basically gives me the power to do what I want to make my business look better, act better, and convert more sales because of those benefits.

We use metafields extensively in our theme. This app makes it easy and convenient to manage that data. For example, we use metafield data to communicate lead times for out-of-stock products. Other uses might be country of origin, or special handling instructions, or a quote from a happy customer. If you need to go beyond the basics, this app is highly recommended. Been using it since 1.0 very happily.

The app works great and the new version has an easy interface. With some creativity you can do tons of customizations in your store with the metafields. In our case we add some custom fields for books information and adapted our templates to display these informations in a proper manner.

Metafields 2... What would we do without you? With this release, Joe has taken an indispensable Shopify app and made it even better. Many unique customizations of your store are possible when you save data in metafields. This app makes it easy to create these fields, store data in them, and change it later. What's more, Joe is a hands-on developer who is responsive to his customer's feedback. A must have for any serious Shopify store.

The app works great, great improvements in usability over the previous version. For anyone wanting to take shopify to the next level this is a must have app. I use it to store meta data allowing custom made functions to call this data giving me the flexibility to make anything happen in shopify. We all know that limitations with shopify which make it great for anyone starting a store but for the people who want to make a more robust experience metafields2 pretty makes shopify limited only by your imagination.
