What are meta fields?
Metafields in Shopify are a way to store additional custom data for products, collections, orders, customers, and other Shopify objects.

They allow store owners to add information beyond the standard fields provided by Shopify, such as additional product information, inventory tracking, and shipping information. Metafields are extremely flexible and can be used to store a wide range of data, including text, images, and other file types.

Metafields can be created and managed using Shopify's built-in interface, or via a third-party app. They are particularly useful for store owners who need to track additional data about their products or customers, or for those who want to provide more detailed information to their customers about their products.

How to Add metafields in Shopify?
There are several ways to add metafields to your Shopify store, depending on your needs and technical ability:

Enter a key (name) and value for the metafield, along with any other relevant information (e.g. data type, namespace, etc.).
