Metafield-based customer segment filters

If you created a customer metafield definition, then the metafield can be used as a filter. Customer segments can only be created from metafields that use the following data types:

  • date and time
  • number
  • text
  • true or false

Learn more about Metafields.

If you're a developer, then you can refer to the Metafields developer documentation.

OperatorsThe operators that are available depend on which content type is used for the metafield.
