Updating Vendors

The vendor is usually the manufacturer, wholesaler, or creator of a product. You can use Ablestar Bulk Product Editor to modify the vendors in bulk.

Choose if you prefer the 'In-App Edit' or 'Spreadsheet' method:

1. In-App Edits

There are several 'How to edit' options available to bulk edit your product vendors:

Go more in depth with all the 'How to Edit' options here.

Optionally, you can choose 'Add dynamic value' to pull in other data from your store, instead of manually inputting the term to be replaced. For example, if you want the vendor name to always match the product name.

2. Spreadsheet Edits

Prep your spreadsheet to include new vendor data to replace existing data, noting the following:

• Leading and trailing white spaces will be removed around vendor name
• The maximum length of the vendor is 255 characters

All new or modified data that is found on the spreadsheet will be processed and added to your store. The system will recognize when there is new or updated vendor data present on the spreadsheet.

✅ Tips and Troubleshooting

• The maximum length of the vendor is 255 characters
• You can leave the vendor field blank in Shopify, but if you do, the vendor will be set to the name of your store
• Shopify will remove spaces before and after a vendor name
• Skipping unchanged rows is a great way to increase the speed of the upload if your spreadsheet data has a lot of unchanged rows
