Why Does Ablestar Bulk Product Editor Need to Analyze Products Upon Installation?

When you install Ablestar Bulk Product Editor, the app performs an initial analysis of your product catalog. This step is necessary to support features that make editing your Shopify store faster and safer. These features include:

  • Advanced Search Filters: Search and filter with more options than Shopify functionality can offer.
  • Live Previews: See an immediate preview of your changes, before the modifications are applied.
  • One-Click Undos: Reverse modifications instantly if you configured something incorrectly.
  • Faster Product Exports: Export product data quickly, without long waits.

Once we analyze a full copy of your product data, your store no longer relies entirely on the Shopify API, leading to more search options, faster editing, and increased speeds on exports.

How Often Does the App Need to Analyze Products?

The good news is that this analysis is a one-time process that occurs only during installation.

Ablestar keeps your product data in-sync with Shopify. Shopify automatically notifies our app (via webhooks) whenever products are added, modified, or deleted, so your data remains up to date in real-time. The app also performs periodic background checks to ensure the data is current.

What Data Does the App Store in the Database?

Ablestar Bulk Product Editor retains only product-related data. No order information, customer information or other store data is managed. If you uninstall the app, we immediately stop receiving product updates from Shopify. Additionally, all stored product data, including edit logs, is automatically deleted two days after the app is uninstalled.

Special Note for Free Plan Users

If you are still on the free plan and have not used the Ablestar Bulk Product Editor for more than 14 days, the system will prompt you to re-analyze your products the next time you launch the app.
