Metafields can be added to Collections, Products and Product Variants. Metafields help you to customize the functionality and appearance of your Shopify store.
The mapping of Metafields will create a Metafield Definition. If the Name is not specified, the Metafield Definition name will be created with the key as the name and the name will not be updated and can be modified from the Shopify Admin page.
