Rydology review for Bonify Custom Fields

4 / 5

Aug. 24, 2021

Loved this app and it worked great when we initially setup our store. But unfortunately Shopify Store 2.0 (metatags) will most likely remove the relevance of this app.

You may be surprised by this, but we're actually really excited for Online Store 2.0 and the Metafields updates. Keep an eye out for update announcements on our end regarding the future of the app, how it integrates with Online Store 2.0, and how it uses the updated Metafields API! The updates made it possible to add a deeper and more meaningful integration with the Theme Editor than we could do in the past. Using the app, Merchants will be able to create multiple (separate) Custom Fields Sections that use our Widget system right from the Editor, and Custom Fields Blocks so merchants can place formatted field data directly inside of areas like the product description. These two features have always been highly requested in one form or another. Our support team handles many custom placement requests like these every week, and OS 2.0 allows merchants to do them easily on their own, which is a huge win. The new Metafield definitions system creates standardization and allows for a more consistent editing experience for merchants across all apps. The old system was subject to all sorts of frustrating issues for us and merchants. In context editing gives us hope that we might be able to retire our Chrome Extension some day too. All good things. :) All in all, we believe that the OS 2.0 update and API updates added functionality that was expected by merchants to begin with, or features desperately needed by theme and app developers, like real file fields with a true file API, but there are many, many features of this app that will remain relevant and useful to merchants and developers as OS 2.0 evolves.
