Shopify metafield drift watch

Know when metafields stop matching the model.

Check metafield shape and coverage without storing product catalogs, metafield values, customers, or orders.

Metafield-focused

Finds definition, type, blank-value, and coverage drift without a data warehouse.

No value storage

Metafield values are inspected during the check and discarded.

Simple operating model

Merchants configure watched namespaces and run lightweight checks.

How it works

  1. Merchant selects namespaces and drift rules.
  2. The app reads minimal product metafield summaries through Shopify Admin GraphQL.
  3. Rules flag missing definitions, blank values, type mismatches, and coverage gaps.
  4. Only settings, billing state, and aggregate usage counters are stored.

Zero sensitive data storage

Merchant metafield watch settings, billing metadata, aggregate monthly counters, and non-sensitive technical status.
