Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureA successful shop needs great products, rich functionality, and eye-catching design — a storefront powered by data. Metafields are a tool for storing custom data: specifications, downloadable files, related products, variant descriptions, Google/Facebook data, banners, etc. Our app is a tool for managing and displaying metafields on the storefront, migrating data between stores, creating backups, and more.
Shopify POS only searches product titles and SKUs — if your store uses part numbers, account numbers, or internal codes, staff are left guessing. MetaSeek fixes that. Connect any metafield to POS search so staff can instantly find the exact product, variant or customer and add them to the cart in seconds. Works with MPNs, GTINs, internal SKUs, customer account numbers, loyalty IDs and more.
- Create, update, and delete metafields in bulk with a single click.
- Export metafields to / import from a CSV file of any structure.
- Utilize the spreadsheet-like UI and advanced filters of Excel-like editor.
- Add more structure to your data with metafield sets and Shopify's definitions.
- Search for product, variant and customer metafields within POS
- Quickly add products and customers to the cart
- Automatically keeps metafield data in sync
- Extends Shopify's existing POS product search capabilities
