Use Bulk Update when you need to change product details — titles, inventory, price, barcode, or SKU — for many products at once. You export the products you want to edit as a CSV, make your changes in a spreadsheet, and import the same file back. Updates apply to the app and are pushed to your Shopify store.

Before you start

• Your Shopify products must already be imported into the app. If they aren't, run an import first.
• Always edit the file you exported from the app — don't build a CSV by hand. The app matches rows back to products using identifiers in the exported file.
• Keep one round-trip per change set: export, edit, import. Don't reuse an old export from a previous session.

Step 1 — Open the Bulk Update dialog

1. Go to the Product Listing page.
2. Click Bulk Updates. The Bulk Update dialog opens with two tabs: Export Products and Import Products.

Step 2 — Export your product data to a CSV

On the Export Products tab:

1. Choose which products to export. Pick one of:

   • Current Page — products visible on the page you are on.
   • All Product — every imported product.
   • Selected Products — only the rows you ticked before opening the dialog. Select the rows first if you want to use this option.
   • Matching products — products that match the filters you currently have applied. This option is enabled only when filters are active.

2. Choose which columns to export. Tick All, or pick the specific fields you plan to edit: Title, Inventory, Price, Barcode, SKU. Exporting only the columns you need keeps the CSV small and the import faster.

3. Click Export Products to download the CSV.

If a file with the same name already exists, the dialog warns you and asks whether to Replace it. Choose Replace to overwrite the previous export, or cancel and rename the earlier file before exporting again.

Step 3 — Edit the CSV

1. Open the downloaded CSV in a spreadsheet application (Google Sheets, Excel, Numbers).
2. Update only the cells you want to change. Leave the identifier columns (such as product/variant IDs) untouched — those are used to match rows back to products.
3. Save the file in CSV format. Don't convert it to XLSX — the importer expects CSV.

Step 4 — Import the updated CSV

1. Open Bulk Updates again from the Product Listing page and switch to the Import Products tab.
2. Drag the edited CSV into the upload area, or click to browse and select it.
3. Click Import Products to start the update.

Step 5 — Track the import

Imports run in the background. Open the Recent Activities panel to watch progress and confirm the run finished successfully. Each row there shows the file name, the number of products processed, and any errors the importer flagged.

Tips

• Filter before you export to keep the CSV focused. Combined with the Matching products scope, this is the fastest way to update a specific subset.
• Test on a few products first. If you're updating hundreds of rows, export and import a small batch first so you can confirm your spreadsheet edits map to the columns you intended.
• Keep the header row intact. Renaming or removing columns will cause rows to be skipped during import.
