Understanding metafields

Metafields allow you to add additional attributes to certain Recharge API resources. Use them to store extra information. For example, integrating Recharge with a connector app to pass store data to an ERP.

The following resources support Metafields:

• Stores
• Customers
• Subscriptions
• Orders
• Charges

🚧

Note:

There is a limit of 50 metafields per owner_id.

When making a GET to retrieve a list of /metafields/, you must specify the owner_resource as a query string. For example:

https://api.rechargeapps.com/metafields?owner_resource=customer

The following table details which scopes are required to write the metafields

Scope	Description
write_*RESOURCE*	*RESOURCE* should be the API resource for which you're creating the metafield.
