Bulk Edit Multiple Products

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 you want to change product status, prices, inventory, categories, or other details without editing each product individually.

Step 1: Go to the Products Section

From the left sidebar of the Shopify dashboard, click on Products.
This is your Product Management area.

Step 2: Select All Products

• 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.

Step 3: Click “Bulk Edit”

• After selecting products, a small action menu will appear
• Click on Bulk edit

Step 4: Edit Products in Table View

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)

Step 5: Add or Remove Editable Fields

If the field you want to update is not visible:

1. Click the Columns button (top-right corner)
2. A dropdown list of all available product fields will appear
3. Tick the checkbox of the required field
4. The selected field will now appear in the table

Step 6: Save Your Changes

• After completing all updates, click Save
• Shopify will apply the changes to all selected products

Example Use Case

You want to change the status of a product named “Black Saree” from Active to Archived.

2. Click Bulk edit
3. Enable the Status column using the Columns button

✅ Best Practices
