Bulk Edit - Overview

The Bulk Product Edit feature in TikTok Shop Connector by CedCommerce allows PrestaShop sellers to update multiple product attributes at once — including shipping details, brand, compliance information, and certifications.

Why Use Bulk Product Edit

• Update multiple products in one go
• Maintain consistent data
• Meet TikTok Shop compliance
• Reduce manual errors
• Speed up uploads

Prerequisites

• Products must be assigned to a Category Template
• Manufacturer & Responsible Person added in Qualification Center
• Brands available in the dropdown.

Steps to bulk edit products

Step 01 – Go to Manage Listings > Products

1. In the left-hand navigation menu, click on TikTok Connector
2. Click on Product under the TikTok Shop Connector
3. You will see a list of all products imported from your PrestaShop store
Info
Tip: Using the product filters like Category Template, narrow down your product list to a specific category or group before selecting products for bulk editing. 
Step 02 - Select the Products You Want to Edit

1. On the Products listing page, select the products you wish to edit by checking the checkbox next to each product.
To select all products on the current page, click on the ‘Select all’ button from the dropdown at the bottom left corner of the connector. Shown in the image below: 



2. Once your products are selected, click the Bulk Action dropdown button (from the same bottom left corner of the connector)
3. From the dropdown menu, select Bulk Editor, and the following pop-up will appear. 


Step 3 – Enter the Updated Product Details
You will be taken to the Bulk Edit Grid page. Here you can update the following fields, which will be applied to all selected products:
  1. Title Rule Configuration: Use Title Rule Configuration to apply a common title format across all selected products by adding prefixes and suffixes around the existing product title.
  2. Package Dimensions: Update the package dimension values for the selected products.

Unit Options

Weight

  1. Brand: Select a Brand from the dropdown list. The list includes TikTok Shop L1 brands, Non-L1 brands, and any custom or approved brands configured in your store. Leave this field unchanged if you do not want to update the brand for the selected products.
Step 04 - Save and Upload 

Click on save and the following pop-up will appear:


  1. Choose the checkbox to upload the new product attribute values to TikTok Shop and leave it unchecked if you just want to update the product attribute values in the connector and not upload them to TikTok Shop.
  2. Click on ‘Save’ to finish bulk editing your products. 

Important Notes

  1. Only products assigned to a Category Template are eligible for Bulk Editing. Products without a template will be excluded from the Bulk Edit Grid.
  2. All fields in the Bulk Edit Grid are optional. Fill in only the fields you want to update — leaving a field blank will not overwrite existing data for that field.
  3. Special case: If you select the same products for Bulk edit again and save without updating any field, the connector resets those editable attributes to the default values defined in the assigned template. These default values are the original attribute values that were configured at the time of template creation, and they are reapplied automatically during the second bulk edit save.
  4. Clicking "Save" in the Save confirmation will also upload eligible products (those assigned to a category template but not yet live on TikTok Shop) — not just update existing ones. Review your selection carefully before confirming.
  5. Manufacturer and Responsible Person values are pulled from entries added in the Qualification Center. If these dropdowns appear empty, add the relevant entries in the Qualification Center before using the Bulk Edit Grid.

More Actions: 

To further enable you to streamline and manage your TikTok Shop and Shopify store smoothly, you can control and perform curated actions, such as:
  1. Upload Products to TikTok: You can Upload products of a selected template to TikTok using the Upload Products to TikTok. This means, all the products assigned to a template will be uploaded to TikTok Shop once you click this button.   
  2. Sync Product Status: Enable this option to fetch the real-time status of your products as they are on TikTok. 
  3. Export Products CSV: You can select the products in bulk, export the CSV files, make your edits in the set, and then import them back into the app for effortless management. The ability to bulk-select products, export them to a CSV file, make edits, and re-import them provides a streamlined and efficient way for sellers on TikTok Shop to manage their inventory. Click on the button and the file will now be exported, enabling you to make the changes as required in all the selected products at once and then import it back to the app. 
  4. Import Products CSV: Another critical feature - The import CSV functionality simplifies bulk product management, enabling you to upload your updated product data and product compliance efficiently. 
Here’s how Export CSV benefits the sellers:
- Time Efficiency: Instead of editing product details one by one within the app, you can edit multiple products at once, saving significant time and effort. This is especially valuable for managing a large inventory, where small updates to multiple products (like prices, stock levels, or descriptions) can otherwise be time-consuming.
- Simplified Bulk Edits: The CSV format allows users to work with familiar tools. You can use powerful features like formulas, search and replace, and batch edits to make changes quickly and accurately. 
- Customizability for Complex Changes: You can perform complex operations, like applying discounts across multiple products, categorizing items, or updating shipping details in bulk, which would be cumbersome to handle in the app interface.
- Flexibility for Multiple Teams: Teams can collaborate by sharing the CSV file, enabling specialized members to work on specific data aspects (e.g., pricing by finance teams, descriptions by marketing teams). This decentralization ensures streamlined workflows and better accuracy.
- Scalability for Growing Businesses: As you expand your product range, this feature ensures that the app grows with you. The capability to handle a large volume of updates at once is critical for scaling businesses.
- Support for Marketing Campaigns and Seasonal Changes: You can easily prepare for events like holiday sales or new product launches by adjusting details like prices, promotional tags, or availability dates across hundreds of products in advance.

Here's how Import CSV benefits the sellers: 
- Bulk Updates Made Simple: The Import CSV feature allows you to make changes to hundreds or even thousands of products at once, significantly reducing the time and effort needed for individual updates.
- Enhanced Efficiency: You can manage critical updates like pricing, inventory levels, product descriptions, or images in a single operation.
- Customization and Fine-Tuning: The CSV format provides unparalleled flexibility in editing product data, allowing you to tailor your updates to meet specific needs.
- Simplified Migration and Onboarding: The Import CSV feature is a powerful tool for you to help transitioning to TikTok Shop or expanding your offerings.
- Greater Control Over Data: You retain complete control over your data when editing offline. This flexibility enhances the decision-making process.
- Seamless Integration with Export Features: When combined with the Export CSV feature, importing creates a closed-loop system for managing product data.

Select the Import Products CSV function. In the pop-up that opens, click and upload or drag and drop the csv file. Your new product data will successfully be imported to the app. 


How to Edit Product Details:

Focusing on making your sales journey on TikTok Shop as smooth as possible, the app enables you to view and edit product-specific details directly through the app. Simply click on the Edit menu in the Product Grid, where you will get the following options: 
- Edit Product
- Upload Product
- Sync Stock
- Sync Price

Edit Product: 

Click on this tab, next to the product that you wish to edit. You will be redirected to the product edit page, where you will have three separate tabs: 
- Basic Information
- Image and Media
- Attribute Mapping

1. Basic Information:  
  1. Title and Description: You can change the title and description of the selected product from here. The title or product description should not be blank, or else the product won't be uploaded to TikTok Shop.
You can either set the same Title and Description as is visible on PrestaShop or use custom information for each. 



  1. Pricing: You can now set pricing rules for every product before listing them on TikTok Shop. You can either use the same price available on your PrestaShop store or add a custom price, and upload the product with this revised price on TikTok. 

2. Image and Media: You can choose the images and their sequences for each product, which will be now shown to customers on TikTok. You can upload the images already available on your PrestaShop store or manually upload other set of images, select their sequencing, and upload them directly to TikTok Shop. 


3. Attributes Mapping: You can map attributes specific to your selected products in this section. Here, you can select the same attributes already defined in the assigned category templates or set custom product attributes.
