METAOBJECTS - DYNAMIC SOURCES | THE PRO PLAN

Metaobjects & Dynamic Sources

Shopify offers metaobjects that empower you to generate and manage data that is not inherently available in your default Shopify data structure, such as recipes, size charts, FAQs, book metadata, and technical product specifications.

If you utilize Shopify’s native metaobject feature, you will need to manually create metaobjects through complex steps.

However, with Easy Content Builder, the process is much more straightforward:
1. Create metaobjects with a single click.
2. Showcase this metaobject content in specific sections or create an entire metaobject template using prebuilt metaobject templates.

For step-by-step video tutorials and examples of utilizing metaobjects in sections provided by Easy Content Builder, please scroll down.

EXAMPLE #3: SECTION TITLE | THE PRO PLAN
