Bulk Editing feature for WooCommerce

May 10, 2019 | 4 Comments

I am glad to announce a major update to our bulk editing feature for WooCommerce. Running a webshop can be very time consuming, especially when you have a lot of products. When you have to update prices and stock regularly, you don’t want to go over each product one-by-one. That’s when bulk editing becomes a life-saver. And we just made some nice improvements to our bulk edit feature for WooCommerce.

I’ll jump right in, and show you the improvements we made.

Prices

The screen for bulk editing prices got a big overhaul. We added new features to better manage prices. You can now:

Increase the price by an exact amount or percentage,
Round your prices to any decimal
Schedule your sale prices

Watch it in action:

Stock

We made it easier to manage stock. You can now easily increase/decrease stock:

Product Attributes

Add or remove attributes in bulk. You can select the attributes you want to add or remove and they will be applied to your selection of products. Both custom attributes and terms are supported.

Does this work for subscriptions as well?

  We don’t have a specific integration with WooCommerce Subscriptions, but you should be able to manage columns on their overview and work with Custom Field columns to reproduce some of their columns.

Sorry, my question wasn’t precise enough: I would be interested in using the Bulk Editing feature to change the renewal prices of existing subscriptions. At the moment, you have to do it manually for every existing customer every time you change prices of an subscription. It’s one of the most often wished for features in the woocommerce subscriptions forums, and you probably would be able to make many people happy, if your plugin would be able to solve this issue. (See http://ideas.woocommerce.com/forums/133476-woocommerce/suggestions/17552416-bulk-update-subscription-price-when-subscription-p)
As far as I know its not a trivial task: There is special plugin for this problem as well, but it don’t trust it at the moment because it only has 20 installs: https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-subscription-extras/

  I did understand your questions but wasn’t precise enough in my anwser either :)
  In order to support bulk editing for specific WooCommerce Subscription columns/fields, we need to write the integration for it. A possible workaround is that you can use our Custom Field column and try to get the data you want for a subscription from the post meta table, because in that case bulk editing also works out of the box.
  But I kind of know how WC Subscriptions works, and they store their data in the WooCommerce order item meta table. So writing an integration for that would require quite some custom code. Since we’re also moving to WooCommerce Subscriptions for our site, it’s not unlikely that we write an integration / support for WooCommerce Subscriptions in the future. But until then, it’s not possible to bulk edit much of the subscriptions data on that overview.
