What are metafields
Metafields are what you are used to on the other CMS’s as custom fields.
Metafields allows you to add and store custom data related to a resource type and display it afterwards wherever you want in the theme.
You can display them in the theme via the theme editor or when you need something more custom via the theme code.
Metafield limit in Shopify
On Shopify you can have 200 metafields for each resource type.
