How To Bulk Edit Product or Variant Weight

Ablestar Bulk Product Editor allows you to bulk edit the weight of your Shopify products.

Changing the Weight Product Unit

In Shopify, the product weight unit can be set to kilograms (kg), grams (g), ounces (oz), or pounds (lb).

Once you have a filtered product set, from the 'Configure modifications' view update the following fields:

Field to edit: input "weight" to search and choose 'Weight (in product's unit) from the suggested list
How to edit: there are several number options to choose from. Most commonly used are "Set to fixed value" or "Set to null/blank"

Confirm the preview list of products that match the criteria and click Run edits to apply and process the changes.

You also have the option to change the weight in specific variants.

Once you have a filtered product set, from the 'Configure modifications' view update the following fields:

Field to edit: input "weight" to search and choose 'Weight unit' from the suggested list
Variant Weight Unit: choose any of these options:
- Store default (lb)
- Pounds (lb)
- Ounces (oz)
- Kilograms (kg)
- Grams (g)
Confirm the preview list of products that match the criteria and click Run edits to apply and process the changes.

Some store owners need to set the weight in grams regardless of the weight unit set for each product.

Once you have a filtered product set, from the 'Configure modifications' view update the following fields:

Field to edit: input "weight" to search and choose 'Weight (in grams)'
How to edit: choose 'Set to fixed value' for this example
Set weight (in grams) to this value: enter the desired weight in grams. For instance, if you input 1000, and the product's weight unit is currently set pounds, it will be converted to approximately 2.2 pounds since 1000 grams equals approximately 2.2 pounds.
Confirm the preview list of products that match the criteria and click Run edits to apply and process the changes.

You can undo your changes immediately after processing by clicking the Undo button
