Editing ShipperHQ Product Attributes
Ablestar Bulk Product Editor integrates with ShipperHQ so that you can quickly update and configure Shopify fields such as Origins, Shipping Groups, and Dimensions in bulk.
ShipperHQ is a third party software that helps to manage local pickup, delivery dates, and shipping rates for ecommerce stores.
Enable the ShipperHQ Integration
From the Ablestar Bulk Product Editor dashboard, you need to confirm the ShipperHQ integration:
- Click the 'Settings' navigation menu
- Click the Integrations and Features section
- From the 'Integrations and Features' view, click the Turn on button in the 'ShipperHQ' section
A confirmation message should appear once enabled. Now you will be able to see all ShipperHQ fields throughout the the bulk editing process.
Choose if you prefer the 'In-App Edit' or 'Spreadsheet' method for your bulk edit:
1. In-App Edits
Once your products are filtered and ready to edit, from the 'Configure modifications' view, specify these fields:
- Field to edit: search and insert Shipping Group Name (Product) or Shipping Group Name (Variant) from the ShipperHQ group
- How to edit: choose which editing option you require. Learn about all How to Edit options in this article.
- Click the Run edit button to process
The app will continue processing in the background even if the app is closed. If you see any mistakes while processing, you can cancel the edits or click to undo once finished.
2. Spreadsheet Edits
You can bulk edit ShipperHQ data with a spreadsheet. The only formatting requirement is to use a product-level identifier in the first column, such as the product handle, product title, or product ID.
For example, the following spreadsheet could be used to update the Origins and Shipping Groups based on the product handle:
From the 'Spreadsheet edit' navigation menu, click to upload your file:
- Specify the 'Column mapping' section as needed
- Learn more about Advanced editing options if needed
- Click the Run edit button
The app will continue processing in the background even if the app is closed. If you see any mistakes while processing, you can cancel the edits
Exporting ShipperHQ Fields
You can also export your ShipperHQ fields to a spreadsheet. This can be useful as a backup or to modify the spreadsheet and then re-upload the data in bulk.
From the 'Products' view, filter products as needed:
- Click on the Export button
- Configure the 'Spreadsheet file format' section (or learn about all format options)
- Specify your first column from the First column picklist
- Scroll down to find the 'ShipperHQ checkboxes' to specify for export
- Click the Generate spreadsheet button to process
Processing will happen even if the app is closed. Once status is complete, click the Download button to access a local copy.
