Bulk edit

Bulk edit opens the products you ticked as a table, so you can change many of them side by side.

Open it

In Products, tick the products you want (up to 100 at a time) and choose Bulk edit.

Change fields

For each product you can change its title, status, brand, tags (separated by commas) and whether it is Age-restricted (Yes or No; see Customer privacy). For each of its variants you can change the Price, Compare-at price, SKU, Stock, unit pricing, and what happens when it runs out (with stock per location on, Stock is every location together, and a change is added at your main location or taken from it first; set each location in Inventory):

• Stop selling when stock reaches zero;
• Keep selling below zero;
• Stock not tracked.

And whether it sells as a pre-order: Pre-order (Yes or No), Ships from and Pre-order limit (see a product’s page). When you change the Ships from day of a pre-order, saving asks whether to email its waiting customers the new day.

A changed field is highlighted, and the line above the table counts your changes.

Save or discard

• Apply in the bar at the top (it says Unsaved changes while something is not saved) saves only what you changed, all together: either every change is saved or none is. If a SKU you typed is already another variant’s, nothing is saved: the message names both, and that row’s SKU is marked until you change it. Discard puts every field back.
• Discard drops your changes.

The whole save is one step in Settings › Time travel, so you can undo it at once.

Who can use bulk edit

Members who can change products. Others can look at the table but not change it.

Weight and customs

Weight, Origin and HS code are columns too, so you can fill them in for many products at once. Weight here is in your store’s weight unit (Settings › General), as its column says, whatever unit it was given in; a weight you change is kept in that unit, and one you leave alone stays as it was. Origin opens the countries by continent, with a search, and an HS code has 6 to 10 digits.
