A dream of many customers and a standard feature with every installation for us: The bulk editing function for products, orders, and all other content in the WooCommerce online shop as a simple table (like Excel) without tedious and error-prone export & import. Update 2024 further down in the article!

WooCommerce Advanced Bulk Edit: Bulk Editing of Products in the Shop with a Table

WooCommerce Table for Products as an Overview and for Editing

Diligence is good and well, but it should not be a „waste of time“. Similar in flexibility, if not better, than with an ERP = Enterprise Resource Planning system, the Advanced Bulk Edit for WooCommerce and WordPress allows for the processing of large amounts of data in a few seconds/minutes. It resembles editing in Excel.

Reasons why a Bulk Edit is needed and simplifies the work (editing products):

1. Duplicate multiple products in the shop for further processing
2. Creating new variants based on existing ones
3. Editing multiple products at the same time
4. New categorization or conversion
5. Quick and easy adjustment of meta information for SEO
6. Promotional marketing = creating and sale prices/offer prices
7. Inventory management / stock level
8. Adding product features (height, length, width, weight)
9. Adding properties (brands, material, etc.)
10. Easy maintenance of all standard and additional fields via table

The laborious searching, opening, editing, and saving of individual posts, pages, or products is eliminated, and editing simply becomes fun and takes a fraction of the time. In addition, far fewer errors occur during product maintenance.

Please make sure to purchase the correct plugin for your intended use: WordPress (posts, pages, custom post types) and WooCommerce (products). Both plugins can also be installed simultaneously.

How the plugin works (see also video):

1. Use the filter and search function via „Expand Filters“ and make a pre-selection (optional!)
   1. Preferred working method: Display all products and use the „Selection Manager“ to mark specific products
2. Click "Get products" and leave variants active
3. Use "Show/Hide Fields" to display the required table columns
   1. For Custom Fields below the table, click „Find Custom Fields“ and display field/s as column/s
4. Editing within the fields (like in Excel)
5. Perform bulk edits via "Bulk Edit" (if necessary)
6. Save after changes "Save Changes"

Note: If you have made a mistake, marked rows can also be reset.

Have fun with the plugins and enjoy editing the products in the shop using the simple table.

UPDATE 2024: WooCommerce Bulk Editing with editing history and even easier operation

WooCommerce Bulk Edit is a powerful plugin that allows merchants to quickly and easily edit large amounts of product data in bulk. It saves time and effort by simplifying the process of making changes to multiple products or categories, such as changing prices, product descriptions, or images. With its intuitive user interface, Woocommerce Bulk Edit makes even complex tasks easier to accomplish.

The tool offers several options for performing multiple edits; this includes the ability to select specific products or product categories for bulk editing. In addition, it provides tools for creating filters that can further narrow down the selection, ensuring that only specific items are affected by the changes made. For example, if you want to increase prices for products within a certain price range, you can create a filter that excludes all other items outside that range. The history function is particularly important, as it allows us to track which changes have been made. If an error has occurred, you can undo this edit with just one click.

In addition to the ability to make bulk changes to entire catalogs, BEAR – WooCommerce Bulk Editor and Products Manager Professional also offers special features such as exporting products as CSV or XML and importing after modification.

For merchants looking to streamline their shop management and save valuable time without sacrificing accuracy and control over inventory, Woocommerce Bulk Edit is an invaluable tool. It not only offers an easy-to-use interface that allows extensive changes to be made more efficiently than ever before, but also protects against errors by giving customers the opportunity to review the change history and look for errors before the changes are permanently applied.

Explanation & Definition: Bulk editing means the simultaneous editing of several data records or elements in a system or software. Instead of changing each data record individually, bulk editing enables faster and more efficient management by applying changes to many entries at the same time. This function is often used in databases, content management systems (CMS), e-commerce platforms or other IT tools to accelerate routine tasks and administrative processes.

Examples of bulk editing include simultaneously adjusting prices in an online shop or changing tags for several blog posts.
