Publishing Sales Channels
Ablestar Bulk Product Editor now allows you to publish or unpublish multiple sales channels, in bulk.
How do I Confirm Sales Channels?
There are two ways to confirm which Sales channels you have setup on the Shopify Admin, or create new sales channels:
1. Shopify Settings
- Click the Shopify 'Settings' gear icon
- Navigate to the 'Apps and sales channels' menu
- Click the three dots 'more menu' to open or modify the sales channel
2. Product View
From any product view, you can see which Sales channels are published or unpublished:
When you are ready to edit Sales channels in bulk, choose if you prefer the 'In-App Edit' or 'Spreadsheet' method:
1. In-App Edits
Once you have a group of filtered products, from the 'Configure modifications' view, click the 'Field to edit' dropdown and select the Sales channel you prefer:
- Field to edit: Search "Sales channels publishing" and a list of your existing channels will appear
- Published or Not published: Choose the option required
- Add modification (+): click this option to add additional Sales Channels, if required
Confirm the filters above the selection are correct and click the Run edit button to start processing.

The first column will require a product identifier (product ID, product handle, barcode) and the other will specify the sales channel and publish or unpublish state. You can use any of these options to indicate publish or unpublish states:
- Publish: yes, true, 1, published
- Unpublish: no, false, 0, unpublished
And formatting would be similar to:
Once your spreadsheet is prepped, click the 'Spreadsheet edit' option to upload and map your spreadsheet. Follow this article if your are uploading for the first time.
