Bulk Edit Products in Shopify (Step-by-Step SOP) The Bulk Edit feature in Shopify allows you to update multiple products at the same time. This is useful when…
Operator's note
Most shopifyarticles you find online are written for a US merchant on Stripe. This one is written for an Indian D2C team — where COD still drives 50–70% of orders, UPI Intent settles in seconds, RTO eats margin in Tier 2/3 lanes, and Diwali pulls a quarter's revenue into a two-week window. If a step below references a payment gateway choice, the answer isn't universal: we pick by vendor response rate, not affiliation. Razorpay, PhonePe, Easebuzz and Cashfree Payments are listed alphabetically in our docs because the right one depends on your AOV, your COD ratio, and how fast the gateway's support team replies on a Sunday at 11pm.
The Bulk Edit feature in Shopify allows you to update multiple products at the same time. This is useful when you want to change product status, prices, inventory, categories, or other details without editing each product individually.
From the left sidebar of the Shopify dashboard, click on Products.
This is your Product Management area.
On the Products list page, look at the top-left corner of the product table
Click the checkbox next to the “Product” heading
This will select all products displayed on the current page
Note: If you have multiple pages, repeat this process for each page.
After selecting products, a small action menu will appear
Click on Bulk edit
You will now see your products in a table (spreadsheet-like) view.
Rows → Individual products
Columns → Editable product fields (status, price, category, inventory, etc.)
Legend for understanding the screen:
🔴 Product row – Represents the product name
🟢 Cell – The individual field you can edit
🔵 Column header – Product field/category
You can:
Click any cell to update its value
Scroll left or right to view more fields
Add or remove fields using the Columns button (top-right)
If the field you want to update is not visible:
Click the Columns button (top-right corner)
A dropdown list of all available product fields will appear
Tick the checkbox of the required field
The selected field will now appear in the table
After completing all updates, click Save
Shopify will apply the changes to all selected products
Scenario:
You want to change the status of a product named “Black Saree” from Active to Archived.
Steps:
Select the product from the product list
Click Bulk edit
Enable the Status column using the Columns button
Locate the cell for Black Saree → Status
Change the value from Active to Archived
Click Save
Double-check values before clicking Save
Avoid bulk editing prices or inventory during peak sales hours
Make changes page by page for better control
Always test with 1–2 products if unsure
Common follow-ups
WhatsApp the support team at the link below. We reply within the hour during business hours (Mon–Fri 09:00–18:00 IST). If it's a payment-gateway or shipping issue mid-order, flag it as urgent and we move it to the top of the queue — a stuck checkout is a revenue leak, not a support ticket.
Generic Shopify docs are excellent for the global merchant. Indian ecommerce runs on different rails — UPI, COD, Shiprocket, GST invoicing, RTO mitigation by pincode — and most of that isn't in the official help centre. Our Knowledge Base is the SOP layer we wrote for our own ops team running 200+ stores; the shopify section is the part of that catalogue most relevant when you're working on what this article covers.
When the underlying tool changes — a Shopify checkout extension schema update, a payment-gateway API revision, a Shiprocket dashboard redesign, a COD app deprecation — the article changes that week, not the next quarter. If you spot something that no longer matches your screen, message us; the article gets re-recorded against the live admin within a day or two.
