Configure metafields
Within the SparkLayer Dashboard, you can speed up the creation of metafields using our built-in tool to automatically configure them.
To get started, go to Integrations, Platform Connection and click Configure within the Configure metafields section. You'll then see all available metafields that can be configured for Product and Customer data.
When a metafield is enabled, this will automatically be added to the Custom Data section of your Shopify admin and will be 'pinned' for easy access when configuring metafields for products or customers.
Any metafields automatically created by SparkLayer in this way will be prefixed with B2B - [name] for example B2B - Pack Size
Should you need to modify or remove metafields, you can manage this via the Custom Data section within your Shopify store.
Partner Ingrations
SparkLayer supports a number of partner integrations that you can manage within the SparkLayer Dashboard. To see all available integrations, please see Integrations.
