Question 1

What are metaobjects?

Accepted Answer

Metaobjects help you add and store additional structured information in your Shopify store. You can use them to store details like product features, specifications, size charts, or other reusable content.
Every metaobject has two important components. The first is the definition, which is the structure or set of fields you create under Settings > Custom data. The second is the entries, which are the actual content that fills the metaobject fields under Content > Metaobjects.

Question 2

Can I map metaobjects to specific product variants in AdNabu?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Depending on how you set up the references in Shopify, you can map metaobjects to either the product or specific product variants. When you add a metaobject in the app, you choose Products or Variants in the Resource dropdown to control this.

Question 3

How do I start using metaobjects in AdNabu?

Accepted Answer

First, create and reference your metaobjects in Shopify. Make sure the metaobject definitions are referenced in a metafield, since only referenced metaobjects are available for selection. Then open AdNabu and go to Settings > Product Customization > Metaobject and toggle the feature on. From there, you can select, map, and align metaobject fields with the correct Google Merchant Center attributes within the app.

Question 4

What types of fields can I map in AdNabu?

Accepted Answer

You can map many field types in AdNabu, such as location, age group, gender, fabric type, and more. Each field is defined when you create the metaobject structure in Shopify and can include custom rules like character limits or preset values. These mapped fields keep detailed product information organized in a clean, reusable format for Google Merchant Center.

Question 5

Can I map multiple fields within one metaobject?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AdNabu lets you map additional fields from a single metaobject in one step. For example, you can map both Gender and base gender from the same metaobject, match them to the right Google feed attributes, and sync your enriched feed to Merchant Center with ease. Use the Add Fields option in the mapping modal to add each extra field before you submit.

Question 6

Can I edit or remove a mapped metaobject in AdNabu?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can edit or remove mapped metaobjects anytime from the Metaobject List view inside AdNabu. Change field connections, add new fields, or delete mappings as needed. When you delete a mapping, be aware that any values assigned to those attributes are also removed, and the app asks you to confirm before deleting.

Question 7

Does syncing metaobjects require any manual steps later?

Accepted Answer

No. Once you map and save your metaobject fields in AdNabu, the app automatically syncs them to Google Merchant Center when you update your feed. The app sends the data to the correct attribute as long as the data type matches. You do not need to update them manually.

Question 8

Can I use custom metaobjects in Shopify and AdNabu to send specialized product data to Google?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can use custom metaobjects created in your Shopify admin directly within AdNabu. After syncing, map the fields of these custom metaobjects to the right Google Merchant Center attributes inside the app. This lets you send specialized product data to Google, which improves your feed quality and makes your listings more complete.

Question 9

Can I map Shopify category metaobjects like Color, Material, and Size?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When you set a product category in Shopify, Shopify attaches category metafields for that taxonomy, and you fill in values like color or size in the Category metafields section. In the app, enable Product Metaobject, click Add Metaobject, choose the Shopify category metaobject, pick the field, and map it to the matching Google feed attribute. These appear in the mapping table marked with "(Shopify)" so you can tell them apart from custom metaobjects.

Question 10

Which value does AdNabu send when the same attribute is set in more than one place?

Accepted Answer

AdNabu follows a fixed priority order when the same attribute has values from different sources. The order is Customization first, then Metafields, then Metaobject, then the default Shopify value. Any value you customize directly in the app takes precedence over a metaobject value.

Question 11

What is the difference between metaobjects and metafields?

Accepted Answer

Both metafields and metaobjects are custom data types provided by Shopify. Metafields let merchants add extra information to specific products, orders, or customers. Metaobjects let merchants create structured content, like size charts or product highlights, that can be reused across multiple parts of the store.
