Add Metafields to a Menu

What this guide covers

Attaches public and private custom metadata (key-value pairs) to a store's menu for integration with downstream systems or market-specific requirements.

Steps

Step 1: Navigate to the Stores section using the left-hand navigation menu.

Step 2: Search for the store by Name, Store Number, or Franchise Code using the search box.

Step 3: Once you find the store, click the three-dot menu (•••) icon to open the options menu.

Step 4: Click Meta from the dropdown menu. This opens the metafields management screen.

Step 5 - Public Metafields: Click the Add Public Metafield button (or tile) to add a public metafield.

Step 6: Fill in the metafield details:

Field	What to enter	Notes
Key *	The field name or identifier	e.g., "api_version", "integration_id"
Value *	The field value	e.g., "v2", "12345"

Step 7: Click Add Store Metafields to save the public metafield.

Step 8 - Private Metafields: Click the Add Private Metafield button (or tile) to add a private metafield.

Step 9: Fill in the metafield details using the same field structure as above.

Step 10: Click Add Store Metafields to save the private metafield.

note

When to use metafields: Only add metafields if your technical team has specified key-value pairs for system integration. Public metafields are visible to external systems; private metafields are for internal use only.

tip

You do not need to add both public and private metafields. Add only the metafields required for your store's integrations.
