Documentation

This task populates variant metafields with your desired variant options for use by Online Store 2.0 filtering, taking into account whether or not a variant has inventory available for sale online. It runs when inventory levels are updated, and may also be run manually to scan all variants in your shop.

Configure it with a single metafield namespace (e.g. "my_fields") and one or more variant options (e.g. "Size") paired with their respective metafield key (e.g. "size_in_stock").

Important: To use OS 2.0 collection and search filtering, you must configure variant metafield definitions for each metafield key configured in this task. Read Shopify's documenation on adding metafield definitions for more info.
