Export your data, edit the CSV, and import it back into Shopify. Here’s the whole loop, step by step — the same six steps whether you’re changing 8 entries or 800.
Select the metaobject you want to work on and export its entries as a CSV. The file is your template: it shows the column names, how handles are written and how each field is structured.
Open the file in Excel, Google Sheets or any CSV editor. Keep the column structure as exported, then update the rows you want to change or add new rows below them.
Save the file in CSV format — not as a spreadsheet workbook. Before you move on, check that every expected column is still there and each value sits in the right column.
Back in Metaobjectify, select the same metaobject you exported from and upload your edited file. Every row is checked before anything is written to your store.
When the import finishes, you see the total rows processed, how many succeeded, how many failed and the exact error for each failed row — so you know what to fix.
The Jobs page keeps a record of every import and export, so you can look back at what ran, when, and how it went.
Common issue
When a metaobject requires unique handles, two rows with the same handle will fail. Check your handle column for repeats before you import — sorting it makes duplicates easy to spot.
| Row | handle | title |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | denim-jacket | Denim Jacket Guide |
| 4 | linen-shirt | Linen Shirt Guide |
| 41 | denim-jacket | Denim Jacket Guide v2 |
