How Do I Bulk Edit Variants in Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 9:07 pm

If you’re looking to make changes to multiple variants at the same time, then you’ll want to use Shopify’s bulk editor. This tool allows you to quickly edit information like price, weight, and inventory levels for multiple variants at once.

To access the bulk editor, go to your Shopify admin and navigate to Products > All products. Then, click on the product that you want to edit and select Edit product from the drop-down menu.

On the Edit product page, click on the Bulk editor button near the top of the page.

From here, you can make changes to any of the variants for this product. To edit a variant, simply click on it and make your changes in the sidebar that appears on the right-hand side. Once you’re finished making changes, click on the Save button at the bottom of the page.

Keep in mind that any changes that you make in the bulk editor will override any changes that have been made to individual variants. So if you need to make changes to just one or two variants, it’s best to do so directly from the variant itself.

PRO TIP: Bulk editing variants in Shopify can be a tricky process, and if not done correctly, can result in lost data or incorrect product information. Before beginning any bulk edit, it is recommended that you backup your Shopify store (or at least your product data) so that you can restore it if necessary.

The bulk editor is a great tool for making quick changes to multiple variants at once. However, keep in mind that any changes made in the bulk editor will override any changes made to individual variants. So if you only need to make changes to one or two variants, it’s best to do so directly from the variant itself.
