Thanks to the Mass Product Editing module developed by PrestaShop, increase your productivity when editing your products by performing bulk operations, whether it concerns their price, stock quantity, or category. Below you will find all the necessary information for understanding and using this module.
Configuration
In this tab, you will have the opportunity to select the products to edit and apply the operation.
Step 1: Product Search
This step will allow you to search for the products to which you wish to apply your bulk editing. You will thus find the list of all the products available in your online store, as well as various search filters to help you refine the results as much as possible according to your preferences.
For products with multiple variations, please find all the variations associated with them, each line being associated with a variation, you can apply the editing to one or more variations of the product.
Once the search results are displayed, you will be able to select the products of your choice, these products will be automatically added to the product selection that will be in step 2. The selected variations and products will be highlighted.
Step 2: Product Selection
The table you will find in this step groups together all the products you selected in step 1 with the chosen variations. You can delete one (or more) product(s) from this list at any time by clicking on its line.
Step 3: Bulk Editing
In this step, you will be able to apply your bulk edits to the list of products selected in the table. 3 types of actions are proposed to you:
- Update of the category
- Update of the price
- Update of the stock Update of the category
- Choose the destination category to which you wish to add your selected products. The target category must be existing; to create it, please go to the Catalog > Categories tab.
- Do you wish to apply this change permanently? By clicking on No, you will be able to set a validity period for the configured change. At the end of this period, the added products will be removed from this category.
Price update
For your information, price adjustments apply to the price excluding tax.
- Would you like to increase or decrease the price of your selected products?
- Then, you will have the option to increase or decrease your prices by percentage or by amount. Please enter the desired value in the designated configuration field and select the currency or percentage symbol.
- Is this price change permanent? By clicking on No, you will be able to set a validity period for the configured change. At the end of this period, the price of the products or variations will be adjusted by the opposite amount or the inverse percentage. N.B.: The adjustment of only certain variations of a product will alter their individual impact on the price, whereas if the operation applies to all existing variations of a product, the price of the product will be modified.
Please note: The reduction of a product's price may result in the final price of the product being lower than its purchase price if the amount of the operation exceeds your margin. Please be careful during these operations to comply with the regulations in your country regarding the sale of products at a loss. You are responsible for the operations you perform on prices, as well as the impacts on your revenue.
Stock update
- 2 options are offered to you for this type of action: either increase the stock or reduce it.
- Please also enter the quantity you wish to apply for your stock change.
- By clicking on No, it will be possible for you to set a validity period for the configured change. At the end of the selected period, the opposite operation will be applied to the selected products or variations.
Note: For a non-permanent operation, it will only become effective from the start date of the operation and will be reversed on the selected end date. From the Activities List tab, you will be able to delete an operation up to the start date of the operation and reverse it at any time between the start date and the end date.
List of Activities
In this tab, you will find a summary table that allows you to track the mass editions you have configured with detailed information:
- The date and time of creation of each mass edition
- Its start and end validity dates (if they exist)
- Its status: Planned, In progress, Reversed, or Completed.
- Its type of action: whether it involves a change of category, price, or stock.
- The products and variations that have been affected by the change. You will also have the option to perform some actions for your mass editing operations:
- Delete the editions that have been scheduled for a future date. A confirmation pop-up window will be displayed before the permanent deletion.
- To reverse a completed or ongoing operation in order to restore the products to their initial state at any time.
- An operation that has already been reversed does not permit any possible actions. Note: a temporary operation created to be activated on the day will see its application immediately after saving the operation.
Cron Tasks
We recommend that you configure Cron tasks in this module to automatically apply scheduled bulk editing operations.
Cron tasks can be automatically triggered by an external service, such as EasyCron: www.easycron.com Configure the cron task by following these few steps:
- Create an EasyCron account.
- Click on "Create a new cron task".
- Enter the URL to be called by the service. This URL is provided in the Cron Task tab of the module and can be saved to the clipboard.
