I chose Metafields Guru after reading its promises of “one-click bulk management,” “Excel-like automation,” and “Shopify Flow integration that speeds up work.” After using the app and exchanging several emails with the team, here is the reality: 1. No real automation – Every metafield/metaobject value still has to be typed or pasted manually. Filters help, but they don’t auto-populate or predict data. 2. Feature overlap with Shopify – Shopify’s free admin already lets me bulk-edit metafields in a grid, copy/paste across products, and automate assignments with Flow. MG adds no time-saving logic beyond what I can do natively. 3. Paid tiers ≠ extra value – The “Excel-like editor,” “advanced editor,” and credit-based bulk actions are just alternative UIs for tasks Shopify covers for free. The advertised productivity gain is missing. Because the delivered functionality does not match the marketing claims, I’m requesting a full refund of my subscription and any unused app credits.
Recently, Shopify updated its review publishing process to let developers preview reviews before publication. Yesterday, upon seeing a negative review from a merchant who briefly used our app without contacting support, our dev team investigated if the merchant could've encountered any technical issues and confirmed everything was fine. After I reached out to the merchant, we had a constructive dialogue where he pointed out disappointment from unfulfilled expectations of AI-powered automation, which had never been advertised. We also discussed other automation-related topics, which, despite being raised and quoted by the merchant, couldn't be found on our resources. Today, Shopify published an edited version of the review with unjustified accusations of misleading marketing. It surprised the entire team and contrasted with the conversation in a support ticket, where we appeared to come to a mutual understanding. As a team behind the category-leading app, we constantly improve our product, are open to suggestions, and are down to help our users even with issues that do not relate to our product. At the same time, we value the reputation we earned over the past 6 years and can't let a misinterpretation affect it. Hopefully, the additional context makes the situation clearer for the community. - Sasha

Great app with a lot of features. It makes working with metafields much easier, especially when you have to organize and maintain a lot of them. The Excel-like editor, in particular, is a real game changer.

Awesome! The support went above and beyond — they extended what was needed, made a deep search into my issue, and solved it instantly. The app itself is great and made my Shopify store run much smoother, fully adapting to the metafields functions they offer. Highly recommend both the app and the team behind it!

Metafield Guru is very powerful, flexible, and easy to use. It enables us to extend Shopify to control and display a significant amount of data. In addition, their support is lightning fast and helpful with real solutions, not just pointing you to a FAQ. Thanks for helping us!

I rarely write reviews but this app is a game changer. Much better and easier to use than Matrixify ! Reaching out to support is super easy and I have never experienced such good support on an app !

Extremely powerful app that really allows you to add as many custom fields of data as you need. The fields are exposed in the Shopify API via connections such as Celigo, making it very easy to sync data between ERPs and Shopify. Reaching out to support was easy, helpful, and a great experience. I would highly suggest you looking at this program if you need more power with Metafieds and Shopify!

couldn't find how to show metafields with metaobjects
Hi there, It appears you need help connecting a metaobject to your store's theme. Although this is different from what our app was designed for, we will gladly guide you in the right direction. We have not received any emails from your team before or after this review was submitted, so please respond to the one we sent you to continue the conversation. Update November, 13. It took a bit, but we managed to sort things out. The merchant attempted to use an image-oriented theme extension block to display a complex metaobject on the product page. This was not an expected nor advertised use case for this feature. Plus, their free subscription plan does not include theme extensions, so the merchant wasn't happy with the results. But we are the category-leading app for a reason. We contacted the merchant, walked them through their problem, and offered multiple solutions. After that, we discussed other theme customization-related topics. The review is staying for some reason, though. - Sasha | CEO, 256 Development

Perfect for my use case and very easy to download/upload after my first mistake of forgetting to check the "download empty metafields" to get a template. I was uploading .csv files of JSON which I'm not familiar with and there was an error in the JSON code. I contacted them and they got back to me right away with Shopify's own help documents. I figured out my error and was able to complete my project. If you're doing a lot of uploading it's probably best to purchase the unlimited option. In my case I was able to do almost all my project with the test credits (although I did waste quite a few on my own trials and errors before reaching out) and I purchased additional credits at a very reasonable cost. I will absolutely use them for my next project coming up next month. If I were doing more I'd do the subscription for sure but I think topping up credits because I can't predict my workload is the best solution for me and I'm very grateful it's an option. Overall, great experience!

The app itself is very easy to use with tons of features. I had a problem related to another app and I still got support from Metafield Guru to better integrate the 2. Amazing support.
