Bulk Editing Multiple Variants

If your Shopify products have multiple variants, you can use Ablestar Bulk Product Editor to modify several variants at the same time.

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

1. In-App Edits

Before starting any edit, make sure your products are filtered with the correct variants to edit. You don't want to filter your products using a product-level field in this example. Instead, you will need to filter by variants specifically.

You can use one or multiple filters:

• Single filter: To filter for all the 'Small' variants you would filter for 'Option 1 value = Small'.
• Multiple filters: To filter for all the 'Small' variants that are also 'Red', you would filter for 'Option 1 value = Small', and also for 'option 2 value = Red'

2. Spreadsheet Edits

When bulk editing variant-level fields with a spreadsheet, you need to confirm the first column is always a variant-level identifier, so the app can determine what you are trying to update.

There is a significant difference between editing variant-level and product-level fields. In this example we are editing variant-level so we need the first column to be a variant-level identifier.

When editing variant-level fields, you only have two options as the identifer:

• SKU
• Variant ID

This spreadsheet demonstrates a bulk edit for two different variants, using the SKU as the variant-level identifier:

✅ Tips and Troubleshooting

• If you are unsure where to find the Variant ID number, create an export of your products from our app and you'll find the Variant ID column included
• Confirm if you are using a product-level or variant-level identifier for your bulk edits
