Bulk edit products in WooCommerce

Update lots of products at once – such as changing prices across your shop – by exporting them to a spreadsheet, editing it and importing it back in.

Before you start

You'll need to be logged in to your store's dashboard (see our login guide) and have a spreadsheet program such as Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets. Only change the columns you need to – leave the ID and SKU columns as they are.
