Here are the actual numbers, straight from Shopify's developer
documentation.
128
metaobject definitions per shop on Basic, Shopify and
Advanced plans
256
definitions per shop on Plus and Enterprise
1,000,000 entries allowed per definition
The gap between those numbers is where stores get stuck. Definitions
are the scarce resource; entries are effectively free. A store that
models each batch as its own metaobject definition — the approach
that feels obvious when you are setting up your first few lots —
spends the scarce resource on the thing there is most of, and runs out
at 128 on a standard plan.
Raising the ceiling is not the fix, because the ceiling is not really
the problem. BatchPages keeps batches on the entry side of the line,
where the allowance is 1,000,000 per definition, and
renders each batch page from the app instead of from a per-batch
template. Your definitions stay available for the structured content
they were designed for.
Limits verified against Shopify's documentation, Metaobject limits (shopify.dev). Shopify raised the per-definition entry allowance to 1,000,000 in October 2025, from 64,000 on non-Plus plans.
